Summary: look somewhere else
Comment: If you're on your way to Sweden and you're looking for some insight into the culture, look elsewhere! The references are obscure (historical and political) and the information oblique...it only makes a small amount of sense after you've been there. The entire book pokes fun at the Swedes without relaying any substantial information. Don't waste your money on this one.
Rating: 5
Summary: Raucously funny and TRUE portrait of the Swedes
Comment: If you are planning to travel (or have travelled) to Sweden then this book is a must! Not only does it allow you to understand the (sometimes strange) Swedish customs and foibles, but you'll be able to poke fun _back_ at the Swedes when they inevitably sit you down and tell you how their "paradise" is the best country on Earth. (And after reading the book you'll see that they certainly DO have quite a few skeletons in their closet). Arm yourself with this book before you meet Inga and Sven. Very very VERY funny book, don't go to Sweden without it !! (reviewer lived in Sweden for some months).

Summary: Very precise look and description of the Swedish people.
Comment: Hello there! This little book describes perfectly the Swedish people. In a funny but very exact way the author (Mr Berlin, he should know, he is married to a Swede) gives very funny anecdotes of this nordic people. He is at his best in the description he gives of the Swedish woman "While young and single, she travels the world tasting the local delights. Once married, she works and keeps what she makes to herself." Short but very funny book that gives a good insight look of this people "Thriving in their glorious past."
