“I think this book is one of Bryson's best. Good mixture of serious and funny. I loved the episode where he got sunburned like a tomato and everyone was looking at him funny..classic. Australia really is a lucky country but I heard a few Aussies didn't like this book (?) however I think most Australians have a sense of humour. Both made for each other.”
“I thought this book was hilarious. Great read!”
“I thought this book was great. Good mix of current stories of his travels along with the history and fun facts about Australia. I would recommend it for anyone whose traveled to Australia, or who wants to for that matter. First book I read by this author, but am now reading another one of his books. His style is right up my alley. ”
“I read this-- interesting because I did not know much about Australian but I was waiting for a plot”
“this may not be his funniest book, my wife found the least so of all his work, but it is the first one of his i ever read, and it is a riot in my opinion! dont know that it made me want to go as much as made me feel i had already been!”
“Bryson cracks me up -- this is a great book. Funny and informative.”
“I LOVED this book. This was my first Bill Bryson read and now I am hooked. This is a book I could read over & over again. I couldn't believe this was one of the textbooks for my Australia/New Zealand course.”
“such an informative, funny piece of work. It made me laugh outloud quite often.”
