“Another Discovery-Channel-in-a-book from Bryson. Fascinating tome of how American English has become the way it is today.”
“Great book to read in pieces. There is no plot or timeline so you can read a few pages at any point and enjoy the high level overview of American history along with the origins of many words in English. Well written, interesting and fun.”
