Review title: Not as good or funny as "My 'Dam Life"
Product review: Although highly recommended I thought the novel's tone was nasty. It is quite simply another example of the British (authors are Brits) making themselves sound superior to everyone else. While the material may be accurate, the attitude does not lend itself to humor--unless you enjoy humor at the expense of another culture.A much better and infinitely funnier book is, "My 'Dam Life" by Sean Condon. This memoir by an Australian expat living in Amsterdam covers much of the same material and enlightens about Dutch culture but is well edited. It is rife with imagery that will not soon be forgotten; imagery woven into hilarious narratives on topics such as Queen's Day, housing difficulties, bicycles, and not surprisingly Holland's flat landscape. How flat is it? It is so flat..."that when you look toward Belgium you can see a man on a step ladder waving..." Now that's funny.
