Interesting and amusing in places. Not as entertaining as Bryson's usual fare, but still good

Personally would have liked a bit more actual Maths, but still a very interesting read

Rabies, incest, time travel, car crashes and flaming christmas trees - what more could you want?

Brilliant, couldn't put it down - the first Dune book has always been one of my favourites and I don't know why I didn't start reading the others sooner. I'll definitely be working my way through all the Dune Chronicles

Huge scope - fantastically original

Superb from beginning to end

I always considered myself an Agnostic but this book has changed my mind. A brilliantly argued case for the non-existence of god and the madness of religion

Laugh out loud funny in places but felt somehow short for a Bryson book

Interesting and amusing but I think Louis Theroux works better on screen
