Review:
"'Bill Bryson's answer to Alistair Cooke's Letter From America...not only hilarious but also insightful and informative'" -- Jeremy Atiyah * Independent on Sunday * "'Delightful bite-size essays that exude affection while debunking the ridiculous with wonderful succinctness...This is not a book to be read in a single sitting. It is one to be savoured'" -- Martin Fletcher * The Times * "'One of his best books'" -- Scott Bradfield * Independent *
