Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson

Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This is my fourth Bryson book, and I really enjoyed the others, A Short History of Nearly Everything, Home, and A Walk in the Woods. This one felt less polished. I didn’t feel like I got a good sense of his travels, it was focused more on comedy, and the humor came off as aggressive or hostile throughout the book. I think part of the issue is that he wrote this book before the ones he wrote that I enjoyed. I think he must have improved a lot since this one.
