Bill Bryson is known for its ironic and personal travelogues from around the world. In Notes from a Small Iceland Words fail him to Great Britain, a country that it is not so strange, because the Native Americans have lived for years with his family there. On his journey from Dover to Scotland he experienced all sorts of bizarre encounters with the British he humorous, often exaggerated but nonetheless charming represents. He writes very informal and entertaining, so that even the most insignificant little thing to make you smile. He openly describes everything that the UK makes it one so lovable country and responds to both the positive and the negative features of its inhabitants. Anyone who has visited the island ever will recognize some things, for the book brings the atmosphere of the country wonderful to readers back home.
Granted some passages draw a little, but the rest of the book, especially Bryson's experiences in Scotland compensate fully for the weak points. Fans from the UK do not interfere with next to this book. Seasoned with Bryson's dry humor and a dose of self-irony is Notes from a Small Iceland a great reading fun.
