Bryson tackles a big one this time - and does a creditable job of so doing.
Interesting and educational book - worth reading.

The guy is brilliant
I've listened to this in digital, actually more times than I should have, but just love the history of science that he shares with us. Plus really cool knowledge factoids. Plus he's got this subtle sense of humor that is just a joy to read.
Oh, and the provider sent everything as promised, a book in perfect shape. Fast delivery. Thanks so much, Jim

A little bit of everything
What is not to love about Bill Bryson? He is informative and amusing at the same time!

I liked this book so well
I not only recommended it to a friend, I sent it to him. This is not a book to read in a sitting. It's like a good lecture, you're paying attention, paying attention, paying attention, and then you hear (or read) something that takes you away for a moment. Something that resonates in your experience or recalibrates some truth you believed, or answers a question that occasionally reviisits your life. Four stars goes to a book I'll save from a fire so it's better than good. Five stars is worthy of sect creation. Bryson has wit, and the ability to pull information into coherency, rather than simply listing facts without comment or insight. If there's a fire, run back in and get it.

An excellent read, always!
