Sunburnt Country Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I had heard a lot of good things about this author and this book doesn't disappoint! A humourous recollection of his travels in Australia... almost makes me want to go back there someday! "

" I give most Bryson books 3 stars but I consistently enjoyed them. I just don't rate them higher because there are so many other books that deserve 4 or 5 stars that I would recommend to everyone. This book taught me a lot about Australia in a way that was fun to read. Great night time book (my favorite catetory of book!) "

" I really enjoy Bill Bryson's style. It's an enjoyable read, especially in the evening when I want to just be mellow. "

" A bit dry and somewhat slow to get through. "

" Very amusing book. Bryson tells us of his trips and fills us in with historical notes along the way. He liked most of the country and it was fun to hear his take on many places I had been myself. "

" Love Bill Bryson. Combines humor with a learning experience. "

" Overall, I liked the book. At times it was very funny and at times it was boring. I was listening to the audio version read by the author. He has a very relaxing voice, which made it hard to stay awake on my way to work. However, I did appreciate his humor and learned a lot about Australia, which made it worthwhile. "

" Laugh out loud funny. I finished reading it on my flight to Australia several years ago. I was laughing out loud. Other people on the plane were also reading and laughing. Good information about Australia and hilarious. Bill Bryson is from my home town, Des Moines, Iowa. "

" Bryson captures you from the first line of his books, he has me laughing out loud in bookstores. I'll buy anything this guy writes. "

" Much better than "A Walk In The Woods." "

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

" I found this book very humorous. I like his writing style. I will be reading more of this books... "

" Fantastic, as Bryson always is. Now I want to visit Australia even more! And I've developed a slight dislike for bunnies and those people who import invasive species. Who knew a dozen rabbits could destroy state-sized chunks of land?!? "

" I love this travel author. He inspires me! I seriously laughed out loud for 5 minutes until I cried at one point in this book! "

" I have one word - Bryson. Actually not really a word, but you know what I mean. It's a good read. Perfect to take on my trip down under. Love his mix of local lore, history, humor.... "

" After reading this and Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" I've decided he is one of my favorite contemporary authors. I enjoy his perspective and humor. "

" I read this while living in Australia. I enjoyed it until near the end, when he went to Perth, where I was staying. I felt that it was a pretty sparse description of the area, which made me doubt the rest of the book. "

" One of my all time favorite funny books! "

" I didn't think Bryson could top his "A Walk in the Woods." Wrong. This is a funny, informative and affectionate account of his exploration of a fascinating, seemingly under-appreciated country that "has more things that will kill you than anywhere else." Fantastic. "

" Hilarious. You can't go wrong with Bryson reading Bryson. Too bad so many are 'abridged'. My 'no abridged audiobooks ever'-rule limits me considerably when it come to Mr. Bryson's work... "

" An enjoyable read, as are all of Bill Bryson's. I learned a lot about Australia and had several good chuckles. "

" I like Bill Bryson's style of writing. This book was a little too meandery and long to hold my attention. I think a little less detail on the politics would have kept my interest longer. "

" Enjoyed his descriptions very much. Got me excited to see Australia first hand (and spurred me to visit the WildLife World to see the snakes in person) "

" Not as funny as some of his other books but fascinating none the less. Who knew that Australia is such a dangerous and beautiful country. "

" Such a fun tour through Australia! "

" Informative and humorous. I've never read travel books before, but this was a pleasant surprise! "

" Bitchy but kinda funny with the occasional eloquent and poignant description. "
