"The important thing here is the dialogue. It has been established under an original premise. -- Le Monde, Paris

...this frank discussion of society's divisions will leave you feeling oddly optimistic..." -- Entertainment Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating concept superbly executed, December 31, 2003
By A Customer
This book breaks down barriers between the races. And what an entertaining and intriguing concept- send in a question you would never ask in public and get a frank reply. I couldn't put it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect an answer., November 23, 2011
This review is from: Why Do White People Smell Like Wet Dogs When They Come Out Of The Rain? (Paperback)
Book is ok. I thought it was about why white people LIKE wet dog smell. My white grandma had 7 mini-poodles and the smell never bothered her.

The book makes me think maybe the dog smell was always just my white grandma.

5.0 out of 5 stars john, December 31, 2003
By A Customer
"Wet Dogs" gets to the heart of cross-cultural dialogue in a manner unlike any effort that has been undertaken in the past two decades. An astonishing, provocative yet unbiased look at how our "small" differences must be discussed before the larger ones can be dissected. Highly recommended reading for young and old alike, as well as students and business leaders.
