Review title: Complete garbage (... and even offensive)
Product review: I live almost four years in the Netherlands and I got to know the Dutch people quite well. There are many Dutch people who are very kind and open and most of them actually have read this book and think that it is well-written and humoristic. I do not think so.It is very simple to laugh at the Dutch, since they are welcoming, friendly and polite and have their own national pride. Therefore, they will not take it serious. But this is the easiest way to approach their culture. So easy, as perceiving Amsterdam as a city that is dominated by coffee-shops, drugs and legal prostitution and not also the city influenced Anne Frank's diary and Rembrandt's work. Unfortunately, this book continues this superficial (and for even offensive) view on the Dutch culture and society, putting a basis for the Ex-pats favourite behaviour of "laugh at the Dutch as much as you can", rather than "learn from their liberalism, culture and society".
