Book Reviews of In a Sunburned Country
Book Review: "In A Sunburnt Country" - absolutely brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having never been interested in Australia much (I can't see why anyone would if they didn't know anything about it), I started reading this novel with a certain amount of nationalistic skepticism. Yet, as I read on, I couldn't put the book down. Australia truly is a fascinating place, and Bryson, as usual, does an absolutely tremendous job of painstakingly describing this beautiful country in excruciating detail. I would have never thought there was so much to see there in that vast desert, as Bryson describes. He travels all along the east coast and west coast, not to mention everything in between. In a Sunburnt Country vividly details all the little odds and ends about the land Down Under, from tiny little creatures that were the first species on earth to the magnificence of Ayers Rock, from the nightlife of Sydney to the oddities of people from Queensland. This book also features a ton of history about Australia, all of which is fascinating. The politics, the Aborigines, the environment, including all the crazy stories about all the fatal accidents that happened there. Oh, and by the way, Australia has all of the deadliest creatures in the world, and Bill Bryson gives lots of peculiar information about that too. Overall, it was a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it as a must to all travelers and travel book readers alike.
