Bill Bryson has a very interesting and fairly unique style of writing. I know that he uses humor as a style of his. I am fairly certain that I have never laughed so hard at book before, it really surprises me sometimes. Also, usually I like books with a lot of dialogue. I notice that whenever there is dialogue, and direct interaction between characters, the book is much more interesting and fun to read. Now this book does not have much dialogue, however, it is still really fun to read. It might be a combination of it being an actual story of an experience of someone's life and the fact that it takes place in the mountains, not to mention the humor.
I think his style is somewhat dry, I think it could use some color, but I also think it is still good the way it is. I am not sure that it makes it more or less effective, but it certainly adds to my enjoyment of the book.
