Customer Reviews
The Swiss in a nutshell - Sehr lustig!!!
The author manages to sum up every aspect of the Swiss with a typical British sense of humour! Having lived in Switzerland for some time now - this book was still able to teach me some idiosyncrasies of the Swiss I didnt know. If you want to find out who what where why and how the Swiss do things - read this book. Essential reading for the smallest room in the house.
This book is Great!
I really enjoyed Xenophobe's Guide To The Swiss. It kept me laughing but well informed all the way through. I found it to be a very thorough reference to the Swiss. Without being too long and drawn out. I particularly liked the sections on "The Bells" and "Dental Holidays". I liked this book so much I want to send a copy to my whole family.
Accurate as a Swiss Watch
Pinpoint accuracy including all the little nuances that you hardly notice. This book you re-read, after spending any time in Switzerland, and find yourself nodding in agreement whilst still enjoying the humour with which it is written. The humour is genuine and not aggressive or truly xenophobic like some other 'so called' cultural guides.
Essential reading and pocket sized for real handiness.
Going to Switzerland? Get this book!
