I borrowed this from the local library on the basis that it’s the sequel (some twenty years later) to his very funny Notes on a Small Island about his experiences as an American living in Britain. This volume wasn’t anywhere near as entertaining – Bryson seems to have soured a great deal with age – but there are moments of laugh-out-loud humour, though they were few and far between. Still, some very interesting stuff about modern Britain (the ‘modernisation’ is what makes Bryson particularly sour). sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to discover and celebrate that green and pleasant land. The result was Notes from a Small Island, a true classic and one of the bestselling travel books ever written. Now he has traveled about Britain again, by bus and train and rental car and on foot, to see what has changed--and what hasn't. Following a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis in the south to Cape Wrath in the north, by way of places few travelers ever get to at all, Bryson rediscovers the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly singular country that he both celebrates and, when called for, twits. With his matchless instinct for the funniest and quirkiest and his unerring eye for the idiotic, the bewildering, the appealing, and the ridiculous, he offers acute and perceptive insights into all that is best and worst about Britain today."--From book jacket.

An easy and amusing read, but not Bryson's finest work. ( )
