Title: Grow up
Review: Any blurb that begins: "We think of Europe as the charming continent of windmills and gondolas..." signals a book that doesn't set its sights too high up the evolutionary tree. It's like saying "We think of America as the charming continent of cowboys and obesity". It's treating the reader like a five-year-old.Yes, Europe has problems. But it doesn't hold the copyright on riots, minorities that can't be assimilated or no-go zones in ethnic ghettoes. If more citizens of your wonderful country actually shifted their butts out of their air-con SUVs, got passports and came to visit Europe, you wouldn't need silly, patronising books like this. And, yes, we've got windmills and gondolas, if that's what makes you happy.
