Fox News goes to Sweden

2008-08-25
This book is full of subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) digs at the Swedish welfare state and Swedish "liberal" culture. The goal of a travel writer should be to be even-handed in her treatment of other cultures, even if the culture has practices she doesn't agree with. This book is as even-handed as Fox News is "fair and balanced."

It also displays a frustrating lack of nuance. A trait or tendency that is noteworthy or perhaps fairly common becomes a property that is universally exemplified.

It's not without useful information, but I recommend the Culture Shock book on Sweden rather than this book.

great book

2008-02-13
A great little book, easy to read and filled with good information. Perfect as a first introduction, as well as for the one who thinks that he/she knows all about Sweden and the Swedes.

Concise & Helpful

This book gives a lot of insight to the intricacies of Swedish culture without going into too much detail. Especially recommended for anyone going on student exchange.
