Title: I destroyed brain cells reading this book
Review: I was living overseas with my husband when I found this book. So, I was very excited to read something that was relevant to my own experience -- and maybe have a good laugh. Looking back, I kick myself for spending money on this book (especially the premium price charged for English language books in the country I was living). The author's observations and jokes are not only boring, but just plain dumb. After the story about trying to hire servants in India and discovering that one of the candidates had six fingers on one hand, which would make finding white gloves for him exceedingly difficult, I should have stopped reading. I kept thinking, "You lived in all of these wonderful, exciting places, and THIS is what you took away from the experience?!" Unfortunately, I chose to finish the book. It only got worse. Save yourself the pain.
