Notes from a Small Island
This book felt shallow (and kind of mean?) in comparison to Bryson's later works (in particular, In a Sunburned Country, which I just loved). I wish he would have taken the time to focus on a few places and give us a sense of their history (or his history with them), rather than taking us all over the place and showing us mostly what I would call irrelevant details. Overall the book was pleasant, but disappointing.
