    A Disaster of Inaccuracies
  

*by D***W on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2018*

I read as far as the first chapter, then threw the book away.  That chapter, which dealt with the "settlement of America by the Pilgrims" (ever hear of Jamestown???) was so full of historical inaccuracies I couldn't believe it.  Chronology was way off, especially as it related to Bartholomew Goswald's brief settlement on Cuttyhunk, and Roger Williams in Connecticut (try Rhode Island), to note just two.  Considering the author's failure to fact-check his historical sources, I have zero confidence that anything else he writes can be trusted to be factual.  Given that lack of confidence, the book was a waste of money.  Don't waste yours.

    Classic Bill Bryson
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019*

Somehow, I missed this book, even after discovering Bill Bryson and reading all of his other works. I'm very glad I eventually found it, because it's wonderful. The title is a little bit misleading, because it's really only partly about the English language. It's mostly about fascinating, usually funny, historical anecdotes, with just a dash of English language thrown in. There are several points in the book where you're just reading about history for page after page -- written in the classic Bill Bryson style, so much less dull than it would otherwise be -- with seemingly no connection to language. Then after three or four pages, he makes the connection to a single word. And then he dashes off to another series of historical events.I'd say this is a can't-miss for any Bryson fans, and a great place to start if you're interested in the author but have not experienced his writing yet.

    Not bad but not one of his best.
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015*

I enjoyed this book but it was not my favorite Bill Bryson book.  It's interesting and has a lot of trivia about the U.S. and how language in this country evolved but, IMO, was kind of dry.  I have read quite a few of Bryson's books and most have been very engaging but, for some reason, this one was not.I have heard that there is some incorrect information in this book.  I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on that, however, normally it's not even the content of a Bryson book that makes it interesting, it's his writing style.  You start reading and next thing you know you are on some great journey with an old friend.  For whatever the reason, this book seemed to lack that specialness which makes him such a great writer.
