Über diesen Titel

 Notes from a Small Island
After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson decides to move his wife and kids back to his homeland, the United States. But not before taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. The result is a hilarious social commentary that conveys the true glory of Britain.

Neither Here nor There
Thirty years after backpacking across Europe, Bryson decides to retrace the journey he undertook in the halcyon days of his youth, carrying with him a bag of maps, old clothes, and a stinging wit honed to razor sharpness by two decades of adult experience.

I'm a Stranger Here Myself
Bryson reads "somewhere" that nearly three million Americans believe they have been abducted by aliens; clearly the Americans need him back. So after years of raising his family in Britain with his English wife, the brood moves to the States, allowing Bill to chronicle the quirkiest aspects of life in America as he reveals his own rules for life.

The stories of Bill Bryson are fun, observant, and opposed to other reviews, I love his narration. His mispronunciation of Danish (and every other European language) is authentically American. And I love the undertones of irony in his voice.

Loved the Narration

Different to his book ”a sunburned country“ this one doesn’t have any interesting background facts or funny anecdotes.
It’s just a boring list of all the places he’s seen.

But most of all he criticizes Britain in the rudest and most shameless way.
If you would believe Brycen you could think it was the ugliest country in the world. Which clearly isn’t true, quite the opposite.

Boring and rude

Bill Bryson is one of the wittiest, most observant, warmest and funniest writers. I have quite a few of his books (Brief History of Nearly Everything is a classic) and I love them. But I'm so regretting having purchased this audiobook (or three) read by him!
He sounds as lifelike as a three-year old's papier mache figure of a zombie horse. Crazily boring and uneventful, absolutely murdered the books.
And his mixture of accents... Dear god, it's a massacre.
I'd really like to return this audiobook, if at all possible.

Wonderful writer, worst reader ever
