Praise for this book

"Funny, biting, outrageous, and more truthful than we may care to admit. I love small towns, ...--" Detroit Free Press""The Lost Continent is paradoxically touching -- a melancholy memoir in the form of snide travelogue."--" Newsweek"Picture W.C. Fields on a driving tour of thirty-eight American states, and you have some sense of Bill Bryson's "The Lost Continent."--" Pittsburgh Press
