5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Xenophobe's Guide to the English: The Xenophobe's Guides Series (Xenophobe's Guides) (Paperback)
Very funny, and surprisingly accurate portrayal of the English and their behaviour. Covering aspects such as our love of the 'nice cup of tea' through to our insistence on always being 'sorry'. Well worth a read.

An amusing look at the English way of life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Xenophobe's Guide to English (Paperback)
This book, which is part of a whole series of Xenophobes' guides is an enjoyable - if, as is to be expected - it's rather generalised.The book is amusing, and surprisingly spot-on. Covering areas such as class, making tea, sport, distrust of foreigners, etc this book explains the English very well. Anyone who wants to understand the English better would do very well to read this.

This review is from: The Xenophobe's Guide to the English (Xenophobe's Guides) (Paperback)
An interesting and observant insight.
Easy to read - I've passed my copy on to a German friend - along with the companion volume about the Germans!
