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

2.0

A book about America's boringness-in-general. It's an okayish book that tells you how inanely boring most towns in the USA are, with lots of detailed information, and few pages that interest you. There are lots of redundant pages, which ought not to be there, but just HAVE to, because they're connecting the more important/interesting segments. If you don't live in the USA, or if you don't ever intend on driving around the country, this book is going to be pretty boring. Sure, there are some funny instances where the cynicism of the author make it interesting, but that's about it, just like how he describes most of the towns and in-betweens - lots of vast emptiness, with very little interesting segments.
