'A tremendously sassy work, full of zip, pizzazz and all those other great American qualities.' -- The Independent on Sunday 'Immensely entertaining ... a sharp eye for odd facts and amusing anecdotes.' -- The Daily Telegraph 'The book is a triumph. Bryson carries it off by his joie de vivre, his unadorned prose and the sheer width of his snooping beneath the skin of the American dream.' -- Literary Review 'Funny, wise, learned and compulsive.' -- GQ
