Title: A disappointing mishmash of stereotypes
Review: I started reading this book with anticipation, thinking that it would be an interesting look at a very intriguing cultural clash. Though I eventually slogged my way through it, it was a great disappointment. The author's ego looms so large that it obscures his reportage. The book is full of stereotypes and cheap shots, and the narrator's voice consistently gets in the way of the story he's telling. The writing is adequate at best, and shows very little understanding of either of the cultures he's describing. Don't bother!
