Title: no duh
Review: This book is silly and not well written (who edited this book anyway? It's filled with typos!).While I do not disagree with Ms. Barone's basic tenet (that moderation is key), I think that she takes far too much credit for these ideas. Her observations are trite and obvious, especially to anyone who has spent any time abroad/known anyone who has spent time abroad.I bought the book partly out of curiosity, more so for some insight, and wound up reading it as a fascinating bit of how jotting down a few unresearched, oversimplified ideas can qualify someone as an expert author.Yes, I'm sour grapes, not because I'm a "fatty" (which I'm not and wouldn't call myself if I was) but because I could've written this myself but didn't have the nerve. So much for the cultural encounter. Quel dommage.
