Bryson is awful, that prissy, affected voice with weird intonations and the hybrid Midwest/Brit accent.

That was three years ago and it's an impression that's lingered; when I saw your question my thought was, "that prissy and affected voice and trans-Atlantic accent" before I looked at Goodreads.
Bryson's a narrator who gets widely divergent reactions on the love/hate spectrum. I can think of only Scott Brick as engendering similarly disparate responses.
