Publisher's Summary Audie Award Finalist, History, 2014 One of the most admired nonfiction writers of our time retells the story of one truly fabulous year in the life of his native country - a fascinating and gripping narrative featuring such outsized American heroes as Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, and yes Herbert Hoover, and a gallery of criminals (Al Capone), eccentrics (Shipwreck Kelly), and close-mouthed politicians (Calvin Coolidge). It was the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things and came of age in a big, brawling manner. What a country. What a summer. And what a writer to bring it all so vividly alive for us in this certain best-seller. ©2013 Bill Bryson (P)2013 Random House Audio

What did you love best about One Summer?I like the way that he comes into and out of the year with such ease Also The Manner He dovetails all the stories at the most important time Hey has a way with words
Would you try another book from Bill Bryson and/or Bill Bryson?One of my favorite authors but not one of my favorite's by him. Would definitely recommend A Short History of Nearly Everything and Neither Here Nor There.What aspect of Bill Bryson’s performance would you have changed?No one should narrate Bryson except Bryson. He is always superbly himself:)Any additional comments?This was, as always, entertaining and informative. Several other books by Bill Bryson have set the bar and this one didn't quite measure up.
