5.0 out of 5 stars A helpful guide to someone moving to or staying in Norway, March 11, 2000
This review is from: Culture Shock! Norway (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)
As I write this review from Førde, Norway, I realize that Culture Shock!: Norway gives a fairly realistic view of the culture and society that makes Norway one of the most diverse countries in Scandinavia. I read the book after having lived in Norway 4 months and was quite surprised that it gave such an accurate description of Norwegian mentality, custom, and etiquette. This book will greatly aid anyone who will be staying in the country of Aquavit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good information, July 16, 2002

This review is from: Culture Shock! Norway (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my girlfriend when she came from South Africa to live in Norway. I had to read it first of course to see how Norwegians were portrayed. And I found the book quite amusing. The author has in my opinion done a very good job when it comes to describing our habits, food, customs and so on. And it gave information that one can normally not find in the normal tourist guides. I'm going to Thailand later this year and I will buy a Culture Shock Thailand so that I can understand their ways better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Somebody's been joking with the author, November 16, 2005

K. Lw (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a former bookstore employee I sometimes took the time to check out the books we had. Reading travel books about my home country was fun because there will always be many incorrect facts and also stereotypes about the country. (You know, like "all Norwegians are blonde") This book somewhat captured the essence, the mentality of a Norwegian, but had, by far, the highest number of incorrect facts. Som much so, that I believe the author has been asking local Norwegians for facts and they've been trying to see how many strange things they could make her believe. And she did.
Take it from me, I recommend Eyewitness Travel Guides instead.
