Review of 'The Lost Continent' on 'Goodreads'

5 estrellas

This book takes the reader across so many states of US in particular over small towns. Even through this book describes the travels in small towns of America more than two decades ago, still I enjoyed the ride. Most of the times, Bryson writes in a humorous tone however there were times where he was serious about what he was saying. At the end of the journey, not only him but I also felt like I'm going to miss this long journey when he reach his home town in Iowa. As a conclusion, I think I will read more books from Bill Bryson with the impression I got from this first book.
