Nina S. reviewed I'm a Stranger Here Myself : Notes on Returning to America After Twenty Years Away on + 10 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1
I write this as a big Bill Bryson fan who considers his worst to be more entertaining than most writers' best. That having been said, this is a compendium of short articles he wrote for a periodical upon returning to America after decades in England. They are breezy and amusing, but lack the thoughfulness and heft of his full-length books. This is just an appetizer - my advice to new Bryson readers is to go for the full meal, e.g., A Walk in the Woods, In A Sunburned Country, almost any of them - they're all wonderful, funny and full of amazing facts and insights.
