有点不忍给3星,但是给4星的话又觉得不实在。怎么说呢,期望太高,看过好多人说这Bill Bryson的第一本书是最能体现他幽默的一本,我就相应的期待它为一本能让我“捧腹大笑”的书。不过很明显Bryson的幽默也需要适当的心情去体会,最近工作的忙碌以及Boston爆炸案的影响,常常让我没办法去读这本充满揶揄的作品。读最后四分之一部分时终于结束了心情的阴霾,似乎有更多处让我能笑出声来(though still sporatic, if compared to A Walk in the Woods),不确定是这部分的确更好笑,还是我不再受消极情绪的影响。总之Bryson的幽默有时过于smart & cynical,双刃剑,小失望。
评分Bryson自成一派的调侃文风,印象比较深的是Cape Cod,还有卡波特的Cold Blood的原型地挺想去,旅程最后因为对Baseball players不再熟悉而遗憾收场,这股子sense of dislocation总算是画上了句号。
评分an interesting and not unbiased way of learning about the America. finished it just about the time when I've had enough of bryson-humour.
评分内容过于无聊了…但边干活边听感觉正是strangely serene, 吐槽也不时让我笑出来,William Roberts读得非常好

I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to' And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England, he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of trim and sunny place where the films of his youth were set. Instead, his search led him to Anywhere, USA; a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by lookalike people with a penchant for synthetic fibres. Travelling around thirty-eight of the lower states - united only in their mind-numbingly dreary uniformity - he discovered a continent that was doubly lost; lost to itself because blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a stranger in his own land. The Lost Continent is a classic of travel literature - hilariously, stomach-achingly funny, yet tinged with heartache - and the book that first staked Bill Bryson's claim as the most beloved writer of his generation.
“幽默”大概是最常放在Bryson身上的标签了。个人感觉他的书最适合马上枕上厕上等零碎时间看,因为笑点密集,随便拎出几句话,都能让人笑出来。比如他形容美中大平原的平:摞起两本电话黄页站上,能看出去一个州(原文是很大一片风景,get a view)。 但用大块时间一口气读下去...
评分通宵看的这本书,大半夜的在床上笑到打滚。Bill Bryson太擅长损人了,而且都那么一针见血。一面读一面佩服他怎么可以把话说的这么幽默讽刺,恨不得背下来用。可以感觉到,他虽然以移民英国为幸事,又看不惯美国人的种种无知陋习,还有些反商业化反庸俗化,但心底对那片土地还是...

评分基本上还原了他当年走的路线,按照书中描写的城镇。 有些地方谷歌自己生成的路线实在无法改,比如他提到有一段景观公路开上去还是gravel road。在地图上无论我怎么拖动路线都改不了。 而且谷歌一段路线的最多节点是固定的,所以只好分了五段,三段是东部的,两段是西部的。 ...
评分Bill Bryson 的文字里太多机智与幽默,总让我哑然失笑。虽然他的段子多到轻浮的地步。他这一次开车穿行美国大陆,去了不少很无聊的小镇,可这经历被他写的妙趣横生。看完了,我决不会想去跟随他的足迹访问这些小镇,但是我一定会再去读他的书。
