Biography & Autobiography. Travel. Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:Every time Bill Bryson walks out the door, memorable travel literature threatens to break out. This time in Australia.
His previous excursion along the Appalachian Trail resulted in the sublime national bestseller A Walk in the Woods. In A Sunburned Country is his report on what he found in an entirely different place: Australia, the country that doubles as a continent, and a place with the friendliest inhabitants, the hottest, driest weather, and the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on the planet. The result is a deliciously funny, fact-filled, and adventurous performance by a writer who combines humor, wonder, and unflagging curiousity.
Despite the fact that Australia harbors more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else, including sharks, crocodiles, snakes, even riptides and deserts, Bill Bryson adores the place, and he takes his readers on a rollicking ride far beyond that beaten tourist path. Wherever he goes he finds Australians who are cheerful, extroverted, and unfailingly obliging, and these beaming products of land with clean, safe cities, cold beer, and constant sunshine fill the pages of this wonderful book.
Australia is an immense and fortunate land, and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide.

Not as good as A Walk in the Woods, but a fantastic, light read full of humor (mostly) about the many ways Australia wants to kill you. ( )

I laughed a lot. Don't know how I managed to not read any Bill Bryson over the years. This will end now. ( )

If you can, listen to books read aloud by the author. It makes such a difference. I've read Bryson's work before and always enjoyed it. Hearing him read is more like listening to a storyteller revel in his art.

Details of Australian history, geography, flora and fauna come to vivid life as Bryson deftly weaves together his travel experience and extensive research with equal measures of care for detail and palpable delight in the journey. ( )

I've just discovered Bill Bryson. If you like your travel writing funny, he should be on your list!

“We wanted proper outback: a place where men were men and sheep were nervous.”

“I don’t know why, but every Olympics these days has a mascot. Moscow had a bear called Mischa. Nagaon had some cute snowflake creatures. Atlanta, I believe, had a person being shot on a street corner.”

I wish I could deliver information with such stylistic engagement and wit. I would love to have half of Bryson's talent and comedic knack. Really half of either one would be enough. ( )

Boisterous and contagious, Bryson’s writing is a constant affectionate tease aimed at prodding the reader as much as the society and place that he is describing. Bryson loves Australia and he wants you to share his enthusiasm for it. Wherever Bryson is: gaping at a giant stuffed lobster on the roadside in the middle of the Australian outback, cursing himself as he tries to snorkel unsuccessfully in the Great Barrier Reef, or admiring Sydney’s harbor he writes with a love and a ruthlessness that only a sibling or best friend would dare to use.
