3.0 out of 5 stars
Humourous and useful, but bitter,
This review is from: Living & Working in Britain: 2nd edition (Paperback)
I bought this book because the title seemed perfectly suited to my needs: "How to Study, Work and Settle in the Uk". My husband and I plan to relocate to the UK and settle there. But I was disappointed by the bitter tone of this volume.Ms. Hall is an expatriate German who has been living in England for around 15 years. Her information is useful. The "case studies" of other expatriates living in England that she presents give a full range of the different experiences of people who have moved to England. But her wit is too bitter for my liking. Although I find her jabs at the British funny, there is a point where they become tiresome and I find myself asking, "Then why do you live there?" Instead of complaining about how Englishwomen are obsessed with buying keep-fit videos which they never watch or how England shuts down at the first sign of snow, she could be telling us useful information. Not that the book isn't full of useful stuff. Indeed, for such a small volume, it's packed with advice and warnings. But the author's anti-Anglo prejudice does get on one's nerves after a while. I would suggest you explore other books about living in England before buying this book. I bought it as a "how-to" guide and I got someone's personal diatribe against the English instead. But all in all, it's not useless. If you've read all the others and want to make fun of the Brits, buy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderfully hilarious, and very usefull!,
By Courtney Kelly (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living & Working in Britain: 2nd edition (Paperback)
"Living and Working in Britain" gave me a feel of how it would be to live in England as a foreigner. I have British family, and Miss. Hall's description of the British was very accurate!There is a small section describing how the British react to a bit of snow which I found absolutely hilarious as I come from the Great White North (Canada). Also, the Case Studies of other immigrants to the UK was very helpful as it gave different view points in many different situations. Overall, I found this book very helpful and I plan to recommend it to friends or family who wish to move to the UK. Many thanks to the author, Christine Hall; a wonderfully written book!
