Title: Deadly Dull
Review: This was my first Bill Bryson book. I bought it because the last time my mom stayed over, she was up all night snorting with laughter at A Walk in The Woods. I'm more of an Anglophile, so decided to try this one instead.Gack. This books reads as though the author's brain was in neutral. It is obvious that he is talented, and equally obvious that he is coasting. I got really tired of sifting through endless dreariness and grouchiness; the brilliant quotes and historical anecdotes were great, but not worth the effort required to find them.I ended up leaving this book on an airplane in a fit of pique. Apologies to the poor innocent who found it.
