I'm going to have to agree. I did enjoy the book, but probably more because it brought back memories of Europe (and made me want to go back) as opposed to actually being any good. Mind you, I thought he was a little harsh on Paris.
Completely agree. I picked up this book right after a short history of everything.
You either get Bill Bryson or you dont. You clearly don't.
I can’t help thinking that this is a false dichotomy.
Thanks for the comments Roy. I just started listening to the audio book . I like Bill Bryson and his works and I kind of jumped into this one without realising it was an earlier book. It is OK. Maybe the narrator ramps up the mood of the book so that some of Bryson’s off cuff anecdotes seem more scathing than his usual tongue in cheek.
Yeah it is an earlier Bryson writing. “ I get it “
