Summary: Very Limitied, not very helpful to me
Comment: While somewhat interesting, in my opinion the subject matter was lacking. A bit more about banking than I care to read about.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not Bad, some parts were interesting
Comment: This book isn't quite what I was looking for. It does offer some useful observations, it really revolves around banking. The author is humorous in a dry kind of way. He assumes that if you're moving there, you must be going to work for one of the banks. He shares his difficulties in finding employemnt due to age and lack of swiss origins. From reading this book my desire to move to Switzerland has waned significantly. I don't know how accurate the book is, but if it's even somewhat accurate, I'd rather just take a vacation, and keep my residency in the USA. He is a bit ethnocentric as noted in another review. He mentions being turned off by armpit hair. That's just the way things are in Europe, and the author just needs to get over it.
Rating: 1
Summary: dissappointingly ethnocentric
Comment: If you are looking for a frustratingly ethnocentric book that considers everything non-American backwards while wrapping these observations into poor attempts to be funny - this book is for you!
If you are looking for insights into working and living in Switzerland, and expect an intelligent description, or at least a basic attempt to be objective - don't buy this book!
I was extremely dissappointed by the display of arrogant ignoranz towards Swiss ways of life by the author. In my opinion a waste of money.
