“**N**otes from a Small Island” was the book which best represented England. Every chapter in the book is “a new story”. When he is finished telling about a place, he travels to the next. During this trip Bryson attempts to only use public transport to travel around. In this book Bill Bryson writes something from each day, like a day to day diary, but he only writes what he this is the most important and interesting things.


 * T**he book was adapted for Carlton Television in 1998 and appeared as a six-part 30-minute documentary broadcast on ITV from January to February 1999. In this book you really learn a lot about England and I think every chapter I think he mention funny and important things. Bill Bryson writes exactly what he thinks, positive and negative thinks. It is a short and easy-reading book with many funny parts.
