## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Disappointing
  

*by R***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2018*

I appreciate that Bill Bryson has a huge following and I've come to him very late.  I really enjoy travelogues, and with his reputation and the cover blurb, I was expecting a hilarious and fascinating read.  Sadly, for me, it was neither of those things.  I didn't find his writing particularly engaging and I'm afraid to say I didn't laugh once.  I also found many of his anecdotes exaggerated to the point of them losing credibility.  Overall it was an easy read and quite interesting, but I'm sad to say I shan't be reading any more of his work, though I had such high hopes.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Surprisingly disappointed!
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2019*

Really looking forward to, finally, reading this much lauded book.  Whilst it was enjoyable reading about the British idiosyncrasies and towns I haven't visited, I found the author's writing quite repetitive - using the same descriptive phrases.  I also really disliked his intrusive political comments (they didn't add anything to a book about the British character) and, having assumed him to be a rather pleasant, amusing chap, found him to be unnecessarily vulgar, quite rude to  people and generally unpleasant.  I was really surprised as I don't usually get to form an opinion of an author via their writing.  Obviously, as the book has had such glowing reports, I've missed something!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Britain seen through the honest eyes of a foreigner who really loves the place.
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 September 2018*

I was first introduced to Bill Bryson by a close friend who presented me with a copy of "The Lost Continent" for my birthday. I read it, loved it and never stopped laughing.  So I immediately bought several more of his books and have just completed "Notes from a small island". It really is a fantastic account of Britain as Britain really is, and for Brits of my age Bryson describes exactly what we grew up with.  He has an incisive mind and an eye for detail plus an innate sense of humour that together produce a vivid insight into real life that is often critical, invariably affectionate and always presented with a fantastic sense of humour.  I loved every page of this book and can strongly recommend it to true Brits everywhere.  I look forward to reading many more of Bill Bryson's books.
