Bryson is always entertaining, and this book made me want to (and sometimes not want to) hike the appalachian trail. Bill Bryson makes it seem like it would be a very entertaining time.

A fantastic book about brewing styles a little different from your ordinary styles.

This book is okay. Not great, but I'll probably read the next one to see how it goes.

It's a book full of some information on nearly everything there it. I am always astounded by how much this guy knows about things.

One of the few books that had me laughing out loud in public places.

This book was something. I think maybe it was just a bit too much for me to wrap my head around. I'll have to go back and read a bit about it to see why I didn't like it as much as some people. But no, I didn't really like it.

I think I picked this up in the airport to read on the plane on my way to somewhere. Though I loved some of Gibson's other books, I couldn't get into this one and eventually just stopped reading it. This one just wasn't for me.

This book, along with the one before, are just really fun reads. I'm a big fan now.

this book us dense with information. definitely not for everyone. However, if you're interested in eating a low carb diet and training for endurance sports, this is definitely for you.

In typical OSC fashion, this book went deep into political nonsense which took away from the fun fantasy work it had built up. And for really no good payoff. The ending felt incredibly rushed and really kind of easy. Good series, bad ending.

God this book was great. I haven't had nightmares from reading a book in ages. This book literally had me waking up gasping. I'm glad to be done. I'm a good way.

This book was a lot of fun. A good intro into Sanderson's stuff. Looking forward to reading the other two.

Though this book wasn't as amusing as some of his other books, I really enjoyed Bryson's story of growing up in a small town in the 50s.
