I was browsing through the ‘included’ list when I found this one. I found myself laughing out lid a lot. I would have enjoyed it more & given it 5 stars if not for some blasphemy which deeply offends me.

surprisingly funny read

I read this book years ago and listened to Bryson's own recorded version on cassette tape previously.
I enjoyed this Audible recording immensely, almost as if hearing it for the first time. The story and commentary, observations on American life and cultural idiocy, haven't dated at all.
Bryson's sharp eye and sharper wit shine through and it is all enhanced by excellent narration.

Funny all over again

Well performed, this ambling mix of history and Brysons experience on the Appellation Trail was nice company over the last few weeks cooking and washing dishes. No dramatic storyline but an informative and easy listen.

Easy ambling listen
