Haven't finished the book yet, but I've bitten through a great chunk. It's absolutely hilarious and has got me flippin' pages like a madwoman. This book was recommended to me from a woman at the gym (ironic?) and I didn't think it would be as funny as she had told me it was. Bryson has an amazing sense of humor, and knows a lot about what he's writing about. On a side note, the bear looks all cute and cuddly before you begin reading, but after you read about the bear accounts, you'll be wanting to hide from it... much like I did.
