Good Points
What can this man do wrong? He has taken travel writing and turned it upside down
Bad Points
Don't read a Bill Bryson book in public, unless you can contain your laughter
General Comments
If you read Bryson there is little more I can add. His touch is firm, his command of the language brilliant, and he knows exactly how to entertain his readers.
