Book Reviews of Notes from a Small Island

Book Review: 50% Theroux, 45% Barry, 5% Keillor
Summary: 5 Stars

I truly enjoyed this book, and I've never even lived in England.

Bill Bryson's style is one-half literate travelogue and social commentary, much like Paul Theroux, and one-half child-of-the-sixties humor a la Dave Barry, with a touch of Garrison Keillor's midwestern sensibility thrown in. If you enjoy Theroux, Barry, and Keillor, you've got to like Bill Bryson.
