In A Sunburned Country

I'm so sad it's over! You know you've read an amazing book when your heart says, “Wait, what? That's it?!” It feels like Bryson borrowed a piece of my soul, took it to Australia with him, and forgot to bring it back. I feel like I've been there (I've never even been out of the States once in my sad life) and need to go back for a second trip NOW! His writing style kept me engaged and made me laugh out loud to the point of tearing up at times. There were even poignant moments, specifically about the forgotten Aborigines or the humble stromatolites, that had me tearing up for less humorous reasons. If you have even a passing fancy for ANYTHING Australia-related, PLEASE treat yourself to this read! A new best friend is waiting to show you a world you've never even dreamed of!
