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

funny medium-paced

2.5

 I think the problems with Bryson's older works is that they're starting to get very dated - the language used, the way things are described (lots of creative ways to call people fat). I know that Bryson is still putting out works regularly, and clearly he's changed with the times, but his older works just feel old...

This was a decent read - not my favourite of his but it still had some good parts. I particularly liked his mention of Donald Trump as a real-estate mogul slowly taking over the New York skyline. Oh, 1989 Bill Bryson, if only you knew what was to come!
