Featuring a special introduction written for the audiobook edition and read by the author

In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Bryson offers a playfully anecdotal account of the etymology of distinctive words and phrases that help to create a distinctly American English." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A treat....Filled with surprises....A literate exploration of why we use, or mangle, our native tongue." ( USA Today)

I enjoyed this book but it was very annoying in places with constant lists of words but even more tedious was listening to lists of individual words being spelt out. The facts in the book were vaguely interesting but not so interesting that you would bother relaying the fact to anyone else or bringing it up in conversation. Overall a bland book, wellr esearched but not a page turner.

One of the poorer Bryson books

Bill Bryson is a first-rate story teller, bringing history to life with rich insights and perspective. Also, it should be noted that William Roberts's narration is so good that you don't notice it's there and I say that as the highest compliment.

This doesn’t work as an audiobook. The constant spelling out of words is far too difficult to follow and makes it hard to listen to. I’m not that impressed with the narrator, his voice is quite harsh. I had to give up and return it.

Would be better in book format

As usual, another excellent listen. Very amusing. Told as only Bill Bryson can.
Excellent performance by the narrator.
Would recommend.

Once again. A brilliant Bill Bryson book.
