The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson
3.0
3 and a half stars
While I was not as disappointed in this book as others, Bryson definitely got better with time. I could still enjoy his humor and having listened to a couple of his books read by him, I loved hearing his voice in my head when he's say certain things.
I am a big fan of travel books. This one just falls a bit flat. There is some added interest now too because it is nearly 30 years old, so it has a bit of a historic flavor like I get from Travels with Charley (which is one of my favorite books that is Steinbeck's 1960 trip around the US).
