Bill Bryson is a genius. This book is probably the best he has written. For Those people did say the English have no sense of humor, They obviously do not know what did this book on the best-seller list in England for months, and which turned into a TV series When Bill toured round England. Reading this book can be embarrassing as you find yourself laughing out loud at Numerous intervals - it is wonderfully observant, self-deprecating, cheeky, intelligent, fascinating, sarcastic humor that never gets boring. I do not know what my favorite part is. Probably the whole thing. Bill Bryson lived in England for a very long time, and came to think of it as home. He appreciated our sense of humor (and yes, we spell it humor, not humor), and the factthat we Understood irony and sarcasm. He loved our biscuits, our little sayings, our culture, our history, our obsession with cricket (well, not all of us like that game) and football. This book is a wonderful love letter to England about what Bill feels about it, as he makes his farewell tour around it. For Those of you that think he is ranting, and is obsessed with finding fault with England, then you just do not get it.
