Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jun 30, 2008 Type: User Review He wrote my story!

I was very fortunate to grow up in this period in a small town. It was amazing that the kids in Iowa were doing the SAME dumb stuff as we did in Texas. I had the electric football game and never could figure out how to have fun with it. We went to...

From: Posted: Mar 18, 2008 Type: User Review Lost Interest

The book didn't hold my interest at all. Perhaps if I'd grown up in the era of the book, it would have made all the difference in the world! I gave the book to my grandfather.

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Apr 06, 2008 Type: User Review Don't Buy It Unless..

Don't buy it unless you were born in Iowa in the 50s and 60s. Otherwise, you won't understand a single chapter, and there is not too much fun in it.

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Jun 02, 2006 Type: User Review Be careful - Not all it's cracked up to be

While occasionally helpful, this books' pervasive sense of entitlement to the natural beauty and wonder of Hawaii overshadows its usefulness. This can be dangerous advice and lead to tensions between visitors and locals as well as destruction of...

There are 2 parts to this book. Part 1 is awesome! It is a great story of 2 men hiking part of the Appalachian Trail and the ups and downs they had doing it. It's funny, witty and well written. Part 2 however lags a bit. The author drives part of...

I've read all of Bryson's books and you take the good with the bad. Yes, he's condescending, liberal to the extreme, preachy, an elitist who won't admit it, and hardly humble, but he's a fun guy to read, with good stories, good descriptions and...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jul 01, 2008 Type: User Review Best guidebook out there for Oahu

I might look at other guidebooks as well, but if I were limited to just one, this would be it. It covers pretty much everything, covers things in detail, and gives honest opinion. If an attraction, restaurant, or hotel sucks, they tell you. The...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jul 27, 2008 Type: User Review Good travel reading

This is my first Bill Bryson book, so I can't compare this book to his others. But I can say that I really enjoyed the sarcastic humor at the expense of middle America. Many authors try and fail to bring the same amount of wit to their books as...

This just doesn't compare to his earlier two books, nor to his recent memoir. I thought Kerry Shale did a poor job of narrating and finding Bryson's pace. Bryson did a wonderful job of narrating his own memoir ("The Life and Times of the...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jul 02, 2008 Type: User Review can't get much better than a Steinbeck

Steinbeck's Travels with Charley was his last book I believe. This is a memoir of John Steinbeck's drive from Long Island, New York to the tip of Maine to California and back to Long Island. Of course it's well written, as you'd expect from any...

I wasn't too into this one. I'm a big fan of Steinbeck's fiction, but this memoir is rather dull. I was looking to hear what he had to say about the zeitgeist of America at the time he wrote it. But as an older man (as he even admits) he isn't as...
