Bill Bryson writes with so much vigor and enthusiasm. It's as if you were there with him on all his adventures. I love the correlation of his trip little known facts that he throws in there. Makes you want to do your o we n research. If you love adventure and have a love foe the jabs down under I definitely recommend this read.
Informative and hilarious

Another wonderful, witty and information loaded presentation by Bryson. A Master Craftsman at weaving a great story with inexhaustive details, generally pretty interesting! A great read. Sorry to have it end.

Hilarious. I laughed so hard while
reading this on an airplane that the other
passengers thought that I was crazy.

As usual Bill Bryson gets it right; funny, stuffed with facts that makes one think. His ever curious mind leads us on a memorable journey not soon to be forgotten.
