The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain by Bill Bryson
2.0
Gripes and grumbles galore.
A lot of the book describes the ways in which everything was better in the past. Unfortunately, in my opinion this includes Bill Bryson himself. Though there are wonderful parts in the book where Bill describes the beauty of the British countryside, and the quirks of British life, a lot of the book is written in a complaining tone. Countless times people or officials are described as idiots, for example. It is not laugh-out-loud funny as the older Bill Bryson books, most of which rank among my favourite books of all time.
