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

2.0

A few years ago, I read A Walk in The Woods and loved it; I thought it was hilarious. I was hoping to feel the same way about this book as I did the former, however, I did not. There was so much potential in this book to truly appreciate the life around him and to find the good in every small town city, but Bryson’s negativity and cynicism in this book did not appeal to me as much. Also, as someone from the South, and who has traveled up and down the East Coast, I feel like he didn’t even visit the best small town cities!
