Bryson ROCKS.
So does your review!
Well done, sir...your enthusiasm is palpable...

Great review. If I can suggest something quickly, though, I hop..."
You are absolutely correct and I will do that right away.
Eric, wow! I actually didn't know that Bill Bryson was so funny. Thanks for a great review and for including these excerpts (especially the beveled testicle); now I am much likelier to check Bryson out one of these days.
I wasn't going to buy this book, nothing in the reviews suggest that its an out-of-the-ordinary travel book, but your last paragraph has convinced me otherwise, so I'm getting it.
Great review Eric. I'd read this book yonks ago and had forgotten some of the great stories and anecdotes. Thanks for bringing them back to mind.
Couldn't possibly top your review. I agree with every word and you saved me a job reviewing it myself. Thanks.
Eric W.,
I'll be brief (or at least attempt it, for once in my life)! I admire your potent volubility, and it has persuaded me to try this one, ignoring the negative reviews altogether. I'm a huge fan of Bryson, and if a man of your demonstrable literacy professes a fondness for it, who the Hell am I to question that! Thanks (and my attorneys will be in touch on the off-chance that I DON'T enjoy it...).

Great review. If I can suggest something quickly, though, I hope you'll take me up on it. What do you think about putting spaces inbetween the paragraphs, and then re-releasing the review for everyone to see? I think others are likely to enjoy the review, too, and would appreciate it being brought to their attention.
Cheers.
