Title: Soooo glad I didn't buy it!
Review: I borrowed the recorded book from a lending library. I am sooo glad I did not spend money for it, and I surely don't mind spending money for good books. Early in the book, Bryson refers to the RO-RO (roll on-roll off) ferry from Calais to Dover, as the roll on-roll over ferry, due to the numerous ferry accidents in recent years. That was the last piece of humor I found, and I expect it was not original.Mr. Bryson's endless hyperbole grew tiresome very quickly. Many of his attempts at humor are of the bathroom variety, and are not of much interest to one much beyond puberty. His four-letter word vocabularity reminded me of a teen- aged boy just out of earshot of any adults.It is amazing that people earn large sums for such drivel. Don't buy this book. Don't read this book. Don't listen to this book.
