5 out of 5 stars More nuggets than a gold rush   January 14, 2001
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

A very impressively researched and entertaining book. It sets out as an exploration of what happened to the English language when it got to North America, and achieves this goal admirably. However, it also provides a wealth of insights into the growth phases and catalysts which caused the US economy to grow to the super power it is today. This aspect of the book provides (perhaps unwittingly) many valuable historical perspectives on recent internet- driven developments - and how they may pan out. I read 'Mother Tongue' first. 'Made in America' is a perfect follow up.


5 out of 5 stars what teachers of english can find in this book   September 11, 1999

This book is a gold mine for Teachers of English and anglo-saxon civilization around the world; and it should be advertized widely. On top of sheer knowledge brought to your door, Bryson's style makes this book a most pleasant read. Dr Jean-Louis HABERT, teacher of English, France.


4 out of 5 stars Very Good   December 19, 1998

If you like any of his other books/tapes you'll love this. I've read all his books except 'A Walk In The Woods' and I think this is the best. The first tape is a bit slow to start but the pace picks up when you get to the 1800's. Excellent for those long journeys to work.
