IN A SUNBURNT COUNTRY—Bill Bryson—In which Bill provides a superlative wide-ranging introduction to the Continent and Country of Australia, its people, places, flora and fauna, much of the latter two being dangerous and lethal, as well as all the reasons he's enchanted with the place. It's written in his typical 'chatty' style, humor, chock full of facts, odd tid-bits and his own reflections and views; delightfully readable and enjoyable throughout. Bryson would be someone to fear as an opposing contestant on Jeopardy with the information he doles out so easily. For Bryson fans, travel fans, and fact fans....a superior reading adventure.
