Rezensionen / Stimmen

Warm, funny, thoughtful, sometimes grumpy. An absolute joy.

I snorted with laughter...The Road to Little Dribbling is consistently and unendingly fabulous...I intend on buying a copy for everyone I know. * Clare Balding * Fans should expect to chuckle, snort, snigger, grunt, laugh out loud and shake with recognition...a clotted cream and homemade jam scone of a treat. * Sunday Times * Is it the funniest travel book I've read all year? Of course it is. * Daily Telegraph * There were moments when I snorted out loud with laughter while reading this book in public...He can be as gloriously silly as ever. * The Times * Bryson has no equal. He combines the charm and humour of Michael Palin with the cantankerousness of Victor Meldrew and the result is a benign intolerance that makes for a gloriously funny read. * Daily Express * Everybody loves Bill Bryson, don't they? He's clever, witty, entertaining, a great companion...his research is on show here, producing insight, wisdom and startling nuggets of information...Bill Bryson and his new book are the dog's bollocks. * Independent on Sunday * At its best as the history of a love affair, the very special relationship between Bryson and Britain. We remain lucky to have him. * Financial Times * The truly great thing about Bryson is that he really cares and is insanely curious...Reading his work is like going on holiday with the members of Monty Python. -- Chris Taylor * Mashable * At last, Bill Bryson has got back to what he does best - penning travel books that educate, inform and will have you laughing out loud...I was chuckling away by page four and soaking up his historic facts to impress my mates with. Sure to be a bestseller. * Sun * Stuffed with eye-opening facts and statistics..... Bryson's charm and wit continue to float off the page....Recognising oneself is part of the pleasure of reading Bryson's mostly affable rants about Britain and Britishness. * Daily Mail *
