Title: He's written better.
Review: Now don't get me wrong - I love Bill Bryson's writing. But this one seems to be from his "early work", where he mostly travels around and expresses his discontent with a city's architecture and planning. There's not a lot else to flesh-out the story. After a while it gets a little old. For something more varied and less critical, try "A Walk in the Woods". That is a great read. As is "A Short History of Nearly Everything" (go for the illustrated version). Those are both books that I eagerly read over and over again.
