A Walk in the Woodszzzzz

OK could someone explain to me why people actually love A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson? More to the point can you explain why people call this a really funny book? Why they say things like “laughed my head off” and “extremely funny” when describing it?

I know I was sick but I didn’t laugh. OK I laughed once but it was in the second half of the book which most reviewers seemed to find less funny. I kept wondering if I had checked out the wrong version from the library or something.
