Evaluation

=**Evaluation**= **I** chose to read a book by Bill Bryson after reading one of them in Norwegian and after listening to my teacher’s recommendation, but I did not choose to read “Notes from a Small Island”. I was actually going to read another book from Bill Bryson, but it was not available in the library.

“**N**otes from a Small Island” is a short book that was easy to read. The language was easy to understand, and in just a few hours I finished reading it. Another reason why it was a easy reading book, was because it wasn’t fiction and because of the humor. Off course it was really limited how much to write about a travel book with no main-characters and with just over 100 pages, so I think it was hard to know what to write. Even thou this book was easy to read, I didn’t understand everything 100% because I have to know some more background information about England to understand everything what he says. So I think this book is even funnier and more entertaining for people who actually have lived in England their self.


 * B**ill Bryson often has a message behind his books, I don’t think there is any deep message behind this book, but if I have to mention something is it maybe that you get really addicted to a place you have lived and loved so much.


 * A**fter reading this great book I got this feeling off, “oh, already finished”. I liked the book so much that I almost read it twice the same day. Other peoples opinions are exactly the same. After reading about the book on the internet, people are saying that they have to stop reading these books. “People are looking at me funny in restaurants and on the train when I burst out laughing. But Bryson’s books are SO good”.
