Notes from a Small IslandAfter nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to move his wife and kids back to his homeland of 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 ThereThirty years after backpacking across Europe, Bill 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 MyselfBill Bryson read “somewhere” that nearly three million Americans believed they had been abducted by aliens–clearly the Americans needed Bill back. So after years raising his family in Britain with his English wife, the brood moves to the United States, and leaves Bill to chronicle the quirkiest aspects of life in America as he reveals his own rules for life.Notes from a Small Island

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

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

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
