Title: Bitterness overwhelms this book
Review: This book WOULD have been very useful and accessible for the average person looking for info on the everyday life in Germany. However, the bitterness and underlying resentment completely overwhelm this book. The bad parts are exaggerated, and it seems to poison even the few good factors the author lists-- thus completely ruining both the book and the reader's impression of Germany. It is more a book of the author's commentary about Germany than Germany itself, and is filled with less than entertaining and inspiring anecdotes. But moreover it leaves the reader with a sickly tainted feeling and a twinge of dread for Germany and its people. Sadly, this book could have been a five star if it lost the attitude. If you want to like Germany, DO NOT read this book.
