    Outsiders view of the British

    Its a nice funny quaint book of our Island, put in a neat package. Enjoyable, slightly dated now but he put an interesting slant on our town and ways of life!

  • Self-explanatory, don't need more than that.

    Bill Bryson gives us the truth about the United Kingdom, including his humour and his occasional grumbles and ironic comments*, it could have been twice as long; which was why I also bought a copy of the DVD he made to go with the book...it could have been twice as long, too. I also have "More Notes from a Small Island, wish it was twice as long, and had a DVD to go with it, as well. *Sadly, he also told the truth when he said the ironic humour has gone from the U.K. I was looking forward to it during my 2019 visit. Gone! And I mourn it's disappearance. Hope it returns - it was much enjoyed.

  • An American talking about Britain

    I have bought many copies of this book and given it to my friends. It is very funny and an analysis of British culture. A bit dated now but still...

  • Thoroughly amusing

    I bought this book to re=read after many years and it seemed to me to be even more entertaining than the last time. It's a keeper and this time I won't be giving it away!
