2.0 out of 5 stars I could have wrote this book...., February 13, 2006

This review is from: Living Language In the Know in China: An Indispensable Cross Cultural Guide to Working and Living Abroad (LL(TM) In the Know) (Paperback)
My husband and I are potentially going to relocate on a expat basis to China. We have never been to China and know very little about the country. I purchased this book in anticipation that it would be "an indipensable cross cultural guide to working and living in china". It was a complete and total joke. The book was full of fluff and completely vague. It totally lacked any specific examples pertaining to not only China but being an expat in general. Seriously, I could have wrote this book it contained such little information. I guess you get what you pay for, and this book was cheap. I did not watch the dvd, so my comments are limited to the book only.
