(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
How to be a Canadian", written by Will and Ian Ferguson (both Canadian), is a short book that aims at making you laugh by making fun of some stereotypes regarding Canada and Canadians.

I must confess that I thought that some parts of this book were a bit boring. On the other hand, I couldn't help but laugh when the authors say that their "sophisticated sense of self-identity (namely, that as Canadians, Canadians are, in fact, Canadian) is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. More important still is what Canadians aren't: American". I also liked the way in which Will and Ian give strange examples in order to help the reader to understand Canadian media, or when they wisely point out that "one of the most important aspects of assimilating into a particular culture is getting interested in the national obsession" (that is, hockey), among other things.

On the whole, I believe that "How to be a Canadian" is a book that will make you laugh, but not one you willl learn a lot from. All the same, and provided you take that into account, recommended....

5.0 out of 5 stars oh so true.............., 21 Mar 2005
By KELSO (Ireland) - See all my reviews
This book, by these amazing canadian authors, is fantastic. I am a proud Canadian currently living in Europe and this book is all I need to remind myself of home. It's hilarious and true and I highly recommend anyone reading it for a good laugh, especially if you've ever been to Canada or plan on going (which I also highly recommend!). READ IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fuuny and precise, 23 Aug 2004
By A Customer
This book is very amusing to read and illustrates the Canadian people and culture down to a tee! A must-read for anyone spending time in Canada and wanting to understand those "quirky" habits. This will help you fit in with the Canadians and make loads of new friends!
