These brief chapters are a compilation of newspaper columns written by Bryson for a British audience during his first three years in the United States after a twenty-year absence. As always, Bryson is entertaining and funny. He also helps the reader see the United States through the eyes of someone to whom some of its ways are unfamiliar. The things we do and have that are wonderful, but that we take for granted, and those that are silly, but that we are so accustomed to that we no longer notice, stand out large and clear.
Bryson's work is enjoyable at any time, but these little snippets are especially nice for those odd minutes waiting in line or for a quick break from work.
