This work combines two of Bill Bryson's best-loved books and demonstrates his take on life - from either side of the pond. The books, "Notes from a Small Island" and "Notes From a Big Country", went on to become major bestsellers. "The Complete Notes" combines these two popular books into one volume. Written in the form of bite-sized essays, both books are gently humorous as they highlight the idiosyncracies of the USA and Great Britain.

Can Bill Come to Dinner?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bill Bryson the Complete Notes (Hardcover)
One of the games people sometimes play is around the question, "If you could have anyone to dinner that you'd like, who would you have?" Bill Bryson is at the top of my list (along with Barbara Kingsolver and John McPhee). I've never not liked one of Bryson's books. This one is another winner. Some of the content is a bit "rehashy" for devoted readers, but Bryson rehashed is much better than most other writers. The processes revealed here make for a better understanding of the author's work. Great read.
