Bizarre World

Summary: What a waste of paper!
Review: I love reading Bill Bryson - all his travel books are infused with a wicked wit and are quite informative as well. I don't know if this is the same Bill Bryson or it's his son or someone entirely different. Whomever "wrote" this book, compiled is more like it, didn't do the world any favors. This book is nothing more than a compilation of weird news stories, many involving violence (i.e. shooting of some sort) and sexual innuendo. If that's your thing, you'll love this book... I wish I could have given it a zero star rating.

Summary: Entertaining Weirdness
Review: I will admit that some of the stories in this book are over the top and really hard to believe, but it does have great entertainment value. I don't understand why someone would think the stories had sexual innuendo. The stories are totally strange, and yes some have violence, but not anymore violent than many of the stories you might read in any US newspaper today. Do yourself a favor and get the book if you enjoy strange stories. I liked it.
