Fans Beware - Bizarre World is not a Bill Bryson novel. It a collection of anecdotes reporting strange and peculiar events, which have appeared in various newspapers, magazines and books throughout the decades. The sort of stuff that is regularly spread around the world by e-mail these days. As such, Bill Bryson is not the author, but merely the collator and as such this should not be confused with his previous travel novels. Many of the anecdotes are humerous, but too few made me really laugh. To summarise, its the kind of book you would buy as a last-minute Christmas or Birthday present for your favourite uncle and should be teated as such. As for Mr. Bryson, his willingness to cash in on his name is understandable even if it is the kind of thing that he would criticise others for!

Entertaining Weirdness
29. November 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
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.

What a waste of paper!
18. September 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
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.
Bizarre World is Mildly Engaging
4. Juli 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This little book (it's the size of an old-fashioned pocket paperback) only held my attention for a minute or so of sustained reading. Maybe the author never intended it to be anything other than something to scan a moment here, a moment there. From cover to cover, the bizarre events and people Bryson relates are presented in what seem to be a random, disorganized manner. I love Bryson's writings as a rule; most of his books have a marvelous, cohesive theme or narrative line. But Bizarre World did not and therefore was something of a disappointment.
