Customer Review: MY FAVORITE BOOK OF THE SEASON!
My Favorite Book of the Season!
With great interest and enormous joy I read this book and could not put it down. It is fun, fun, fun. I did not know that Estee Lauder perfume "Country Mist" failed miserably in Germany because the word MIST means manure in German, until I read this book!
Surprised to read in the book that some French names raise red flag In France. For instance, Chantal means barracuda, Bernadette is innocent, Angele (Angela) in decent, Brigitte is unpredictable, Lou Lou is a teaser and Maurice is a playboy!
The book is filled with captivating stories from around the world. The author in a bursting simplicity explains the characteristic features and personality of Americans and people in 135 countries! WOW! It is overwhelming. Ranging from tradition, social etiquette and love to the bizarre, the secret and taboos.
I was particularly taken by the list of the outstanding people of our time and those who made a direct impact on our life, starting with George Bush and Hillary Clinton and ending with Madonna and Al Pacino. The roster of the most important American celebrities and the best and worst of our politicians is a coup de grace. Read the book. You got to read it; it is enjoyable and so much entertaining. This is my favorite book of the Season.
