Bill Bryson's African Diary
There is only enough content for a New Yorker major article but it has been spun out into a tiny book. I am a Bill Bryson fan but this book is a rip-off.
I understand he is trying to make money for CARE but scamming a reader is not the way to do it!.


Short but sweet
His wry wit remains even in the face of tragic situations. Bill Bryson is one of my favorite authors and this 50 page account of his short journey into Africa does not disappoint. This book is the result of a fundraising effort by the nonprofit organization, CARE. I was disappointed that it is only 50 pages, but it was a great, extremely quick, read.


I discover Bill Bryson
Some leave a rather "tongue in cheek" taste especially when he is a little critical of his native land, but he is a writer and from the midwest. His book entitled "A Walk in the Woods" exposed me to Bill Bryson and so far I believe I have read all of his books.
