I disagree with Philips remarks that Bryson’s side stories distract the reader and take away from the book. The side stories add a lot to the book making it more interesting and enjoyable. The tangents in the book may be a little long at some points but the book would be boring without them.

I agree with Raymonds post that says that Bryson’s side stories disrupt the flow of the story but I also think that the book needs them so that it wouldn’t be boring. Raymond also says that Bryson’s rants are obnoxious and I think that though they may be a little long and annoying at some times that they add a lot to the book and make it more interesting.
