Excellent, it makes both the history and language interesting. Bryson goes on a trip following the traces of English language and history of America. Someone would say- why, what for and how can it be interesting? Well, Bill Bryson can make each topic amusing, funny and compelling. As i'm not really fond of history books , I'm really fond of Bryson! I love his way of writing and a presentation of a subject in a giving manner, mainly with humor and laugh. But it's not only entertaining, it's also informative. It provides readers with a huge amount of knowledge, and Bryson in some issues go even deeper. Really nice concept, style. I'm not objective as I simply love this author :)
