The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid

Bought as a christmas present and they like all of his other books and this is one of the few they have not read yet

Surely one of the best books ever by this truly excellent author - very funny indeed and a wonderful nostalgic look back at 1950s America. Also, fascinatingly informative, as are all BB's books. Can't recommend this one highly enough.

My favourite Bill Bryson book. Interesting and informative about America in the 50s and 60s, as well as very funny reading.

Excellent writing that delivers a smile on every page. Classic Bryson!

Not my kind of book.

Bryson always comes up trumps.....

Great condition

Bill Bryson's wry and fond look back at 50s America reminds us how much has changed... and not changed. An interesting take on advertising, TV, super-heroes, childhood, parents, school and girls. What a funny and poignant read. I've now read it twice and laughed, even more, the second time - I had to stop reading to dry my eyes at the tale of the toity jars - so beware of reading this in public!
