Nostalgia and Laughs!,
By Marni Brownlees (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Xenophobe's Guide to Kiwis (Xenophobe's Guides) (Paperback)
As a critical kiwi I thought this was a fantastic book, was a a real treasure! I had no idea there was so many mannerisms and thoughts I have that are so particular to the kiwi way of life! Felt very nostalgic at times and felt homesick, but laughed just as much! Could not put it down, will make sure my English friends and family read it so they understand me better!

Brilliant work,
By Virginia Flaus (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Xenophobe's Guide to Kiwis (Xenophobe's Guides) (Paperback)
Brilliant work which shows great insight into the beliefs and fables of New Zealanders in both a contemporary and historical context, in a humorous way which reflects the Kiwi ability to laugh at themselves I am sure there isn’t a New Zealander around who couldn’t recognize the traits portrayed in either themselves or people they know. I also have no doubt that in time the guide will be seen as an important historical resource – where else can you find accurate and pertinent data spanning generations of New Zealanders in just 63 pages!The authors are to be congratulated for truly encapsulating the Kiwi trait of being able to laugh at themselves. The most hilarious book I have read in ages.

Funny and informative!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Xenophobe's Guide to Kiwis (Xenophobe's Guides) (Paperback)
If you're thinking about going to New Zealand anytime soon, I would highly recommend reading this book first! It's hilarious, short and dead-on. In less than 100 pages, you'll get a very thorough introduction to the culture and people of New Zealand which will make your visit all the more amusing as you discover the stuff you've just read about to be perfectly true.
