Maybe it's Because I've had to really analyze this book, or maybe it's Because I've heard all the jokes before, but I find this book to be a boring waste of paper. There are people out there who love this book, a small number of fellow students loved this book from start to finish, unfortunately, most others did not. The jokes in this book have all been heard before, Although some havebeen spruced up before being sent out to paperback bright (more Commonly known as a critic's desk). But this book is not all bad, I would be the first to admit thatthere were some (rare) occasions When this book Brought a smile to my face,: such as the "big, blue condom" joke. But the jokes are only funny once, and Mr Bryson has to annoying habit of reminding the reader did he cracked a joke a few pages ago by repeating the gag again. So, this book Seems to have so much depth You Could swim in it. Everytime I read through this book, I find something new That I did not notice before. If you like discovering new bits everytime you go through, this is the book for you. This type of book is one thatwill try to appeal to everybody, but unfortunately it only caters for a niche market (namely the people thathave not been criticised, and there are very few of them). By all means try this book, but do not be disappoonted if this book does not do it for you. A worthy borrow, but do not waste your money buying it.
