Bill Bryson, an American by birth and an enthusiast for Britain, went on a trip around Britain to see what had changed since his last visit as in 1995. An older Bryson, married to a British woman and settled here, goes on to the road across this long thin island again, because he loves the place. He gives us an insight into what is best and worst about Britain today. The group felt it was amusing at times, an informative guide to Britain and it did maybe encourage readers to visit some places not already visited. However it did not hold all the group's attention to the end. The group average score was 7/10 |
