Bill Bryson writes with so much vigor and enthusiasm. It's as if you were there with him on all his adventures. I love the correlation of his trip little known facts that he throws in there. Makes you want to do your o we n research. If you love adventure and have a love foe the jabs down under I definitely recommend this read.

I learned so much about Australia in this book. He is also witty and hilarious and made me laugh out loud reading this book.

Another wonderful, witty and information loaded presentation by Bryson. A Master Craftsman at weaving a great story with inexhaustive details, generally pretty interesting! A great read. Sorry to have it end.

Hilarious. I laughed so hard while reading this on an airplane that the other passengers thought that I was crazy.

As usual Bill Bryson gets it right; funny, stuffed with facts that makes one think. His ever curious mind leads us on a memorable journey not soon to be forgotten. Blake Vance Delray Beach, FL

Great book! Funny, informative and thoroughly entertaining.

Read only a few books in my day. This one is funny and full of adventure. Makes me want to go and experience this for myself.
