Download In a Sunburned Country Audiobook

" A little overboard on the fact that everything in Australia will kill you, but overall entertaining. I feel I got a really good overview of the country, politics and culture. "

" I always love Bryson, he brings a certain open and friendly point of view to traveling that I wish I had. It's awesome to be able to 'follow' him on his travels. "

" I really enjoyed this. So funny, laughed hard many times. And interesting to read an outsider's perspective of our wide red land. Great detail and history with a healthy dose of personality. I want to travel Australia again. I wish I'd known half as much as he did when I travelled it all those years ago. Easy and hilarious, one of those books you read with relief and joy. Recommend! "

" This is a great read, had me laughing so hard it was scary. A insightful "outside" look at Australia and the people, presented in an easy to read manner, but jam-packed full of interesting bits of information about Australia I never knew before. It really give me the desire to go exploring around the country more than I have already. Highly recommended! "

" This is trademark Bryson at his best, traveling around Australia and making witty comments. The book really gets good when he gets a traveling companion, similar to when his buddy joins him on the Appalachian Trail in A Walk in the Woods. "

" hilarious! But I still don't want to visit Australia. "

" Absolutely hillarious observations and experiences in Oz. "

" 4 April 2012 -- a confronting read as an Australian. This is a book definitely written with an American audience in mind. Appreciated the research into Australian history was done in a comprehensive and accurate manner. Liked the anecdotes of his interactions with people. Very funny in places. Not sure if I would recommend this to someone visiting Australia or not. Perhaps more suitable for someone who has already visited. "

" I always enjoy Bryson's book, but this one was a bit slower that his others. Australia is fascinating and full of more deadly plants and animals than any place in the world. "

" Very funny and full of information, from someone who obviously loves the country. "

" Took me 10 years to finish reading it, a tad too long and whimsical. "

" Laughed until I cried in some parts of this book. "

" i thought it was a humorous, informative read, but it did not add a lot of enjoyment to my life. I could have lived without it. "

" Bryson may be the most interesting non-fiction writer on earth. "

" I'm impressed by how Bill Bryson can write such an entertaining book consisting of mostly dull material. "

" You've gotta just love Bryson's travelogues. And he does a nice job narrating it himself. Well worth a listen. Not as good as A Walk in the Woods though. "

" Fantastic book! Hilarious and insightful. Lots of laugh out loud moments. I also enjoyed reading about lots of the places I've been to "

" Really enjoyed learning about a county/continent I did not know much about. The author is very humorous so it was really fun to read. "

" Love the humor and learning about Australia. "

" Lots of information about Australia. Travel humor. "

" Classic, excellent, informative, hilarious Bryson! Read it whether you're going to Australia or not! "

" Now I really want to go to Australia! I have enjoyed everything I've read by Bill Bryson and I love hearing him read his audiobooks. "

" Found this much easier to understand when I'd actually been to Australia. "

" Bryson's writing style is a wonderful combination of a travelog, a Mitchner book and P.J. O'Rourke. Confirmed for me that if I had any job offer than enabled me to move to Australia, I would leave immediately. "

" His description of listening to cricket on the radio is hilarious. "

" A laugh-out-loud funny account of Bill's travels in Australia. Possibly funniest to those who are relatively familiar with Australian life but an entertaining and informative (in a very unique way) read for anyone. "

" Loved this. As usual, Bryson made me want to travel to the place he visited. Can't wait to get to Australia! "

" Great tour through Australia, Bill was able to capture a great mixture of local hot spots and big tourist attractions while weaving in a great history of the country. "

" This is my second Bryson book, and I am so glad I stumbled upon him. Funny, funny man.

"

" Travel, humor and crazy stories. What's not to love. "

" Bill Bryson is always an enjoyable and pleasant stroll through wherever. Australia has always a fascination for me. This was just right. "

" Definitely moving Australia up on the list of places to go. "

" Made me want to go. I love his wandering approach to travel, and that he walks a great deal to get a feel for daily life in a community. "

" The only caveat with this book is that you may embarrass yourself with laughing if you read this in public. "
