I have sent Bill Bryson's books to a number of friends & relatives. Truly, he cracks me up. This was a bit of a disappointment. I was in Nevada, Iowa (age 5), @ the same time he was in Des Moines. We come from the same place. It was never the best of times, in Iowa.I left the book with a friend who's a sports writer. She didn't know about Bryson's dad, also a sports writer, a good one, & was intrigued. Bill Bryson makes me snort my drink out my nose most of the time. This book did tell me who his companion was in A Walk In The Woods was. A Walk In The Woods was TOO, too funny.
