Negative Positive
Title: Yikes!
Review: I bought this book to help prepare for our move to China in June. I have read and enjoyed other Culture Shock books before (Culture Shock Malaysia is wonderful and very helpful) but I was blown away by this book's awfulness. It should have been called, "Out-dated Personal Ramblings of a Typo-prone Journalist in China." Sarcasm is rampant, the author refers to the reader as "pal" and frequently admonishes him (as in, "too bad, pal. China isn't going to change for you.") and the vast majority of the so-called advice is terribly outdated.The Culture Shock people should take this book off the market before it seriously damages their name.
Is the review positive or negative?
