Im a huge Bryson fan- and this novel doesn't disappoint with hilarious situations and remarks by the author. I just can't get enough of his style of writing- sarcastic, dry, witty as can be. Every book is a fun read that leaves me in bouts of laughter. -

Well, it's not the fastest read in the world, but it sure is packed with a highly detailed account of everything from stairs, fuse boxes, to kitchen equipment to the dining room. Seriously fascinating but you have to really stick to your guns to finish it. Not as numerous as most of Bill Bryson's books. -

A very informative true story about wrongful convictions- a topic I am greatly interested in. You either love or hate John Grisham, but I found this true account very interesting and important to have knowledge about the topic. A stunning look at the justice system in the USA. -
My bf wanted this since it came out. Really cool graphics on both the front and back. Doesn't look like a badly made band shirt at all. Ordered online- I wanted the hoodie but they sent the shirt by accident- then gave it too us for free and are... +
My bf wanted this since it came out. Really cool graphics on both the front and back. Doesn't look like a badly made band shirt at all. Ordered online- I wanted the hoodie but they sent the shirt by accident- then gave it too us for free and are sending us the hoodie at no charge. Wow. Good quality as well. I'm impressed. -
So, so much better than the movie- as is most often the case. I loved the look inside the behind the scenes of a travelling circus- which is long ago now. Tough to read the animal parts, but it's important to know. The parts of the story told by the... +
So, so much better than the movie- as is most often the case. I loved the look inside the behind the scenes of a travelling circus- which is long ago now. Tough to read the animal parts, but it's important to know. The parts of the story told by the main character as an elderly man were my favourites- so touching -

This was given to me as a Christmas gift- what a lovely thought for someone who loves family history and trees. It is a fill in book, beautifully illustrated with sections for special memories, recipes, notes, etc. A well thought out book to chronicle a loving family history to preserve for future generations. -
I adored this book as a young girl. Such a perfectly plotted story of a young girl. A much loved tale of perseverance and love. I remember my mum reading this story to me, and I can't wait to pass it on to my little girl. A hard cover beautifully... +
I adored this book as a young girl. Such a perfectly plotted story of a young girl. A much loved tale of perseverance and love. I remember my mum reading this story to me, and I can't wait to pass it on to my little girl. A hard cover beautifully bound copy sits proudly on my bookshelf of childhood classics. -

One of my favourite, all time novel. Bill Bryson is the funniest writer I've ever had the pleasure of reading. This one is even better if you have travelled or live in the UK. This book is so hilarious that I find it embarrassing to read it in public- due to my out loud laughing spurts at this anecdotes. Not to be missed. -
This book could not be more imaginative and beautifully written. Such a magical world created that just compels all readers. I will always treasure this book. Every children's home library must must must contain a copy of this classic story.

All the best of his character- Lowly Worm and Huckle Cat plus all the rest. These books are so precious to me- I just love he drawings and he way they teach kids. I still find them magical to view. A must have for my future kids.
