Hilerical. (  )  Jimbookbuff1963 | Jun 5, 2021 |  Bryson is a real dickbag in this one but I do really enjoy the way that he writes. (  ) jobinsonlis | May 11, 2021 | Ronald Gregor Smith cheshire11 | Apr 7, 2021 | I really wanted to like this. I read a lot of Bryson travel books a few years ago, probably a decade, and I think maybe I’ve grown to like different things. I think I’m going to read the ones about UK and Australia again and see if it’s just me, although I read the history books more recently and loved those. This had some lines that made me laugh out loud, but maybe America is just too big for one book to not start to seem samey after a while. ( ) Vividrogers | Dec 20, 2020 | Disappointing. A lot of baby boomer-ish ranting about how things aren't exactly like they were in 1957. Stick with other Bryson work. (  ) AldusManutius | Jul 5, 2020 | no reviews | add a review

"Hardly anyone ever leaves Des Moines, Iowa. But Bill Bryson did, and after ten years in England he decided to go home--to a foreign country. In an aging Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through thirty-eight states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America."--Container.
