The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson

2.0

Actually I didn't finish... I gave up about half way. It just.. wasn't funny. It was in fact kind of dull. And repetitive. And whiny. And dull. And repetitive... I seem to remember really enjoying Notes from a Small Island some 15 years ago. I remember him lovingly making fun of those whacky Brits, and recognising a lot of what he said, having lived in the UK myself. In this case I do not think it's solely the fact that I've never set foot in the US that makes the book boring though - if he'd given me some interesting descriptions, characters and funny anecdotes I would have been happy. That was all I was looking for.
