5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic portrayal of a nation, June 28, 2000

By	"ztk7" (Reykjavik Iceland) - See all my reviews

This book is fantastic. I'm Icelandic myself and everything this book states is completely correct and a greatly humorous view of the nation. Apart from a few misspelling Icelandic names and concepts this book is wonderful

4.0 out of 5 stars Greetings from Iceland, April 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Xenophobe's Guide to the Icelanders (Paperback)

This humorous "guide" gives insight to the character and behavior of the Icelanders. Everything from knitting to politics is covered. Some of the information given in this book is now outdated, such as the restrictions on the importation of dairy products. These tend to be minor details and do not take away from the quality of the book. No pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great & Humorous Insight, November 1, 2002

By A Customer

What a delightful surprise I had in store when I purchase this book for a friend that will be traveling to Iceland for the first time. I couldn't put it down once I opened it. Filled with humor and hopefully some truth it is delightful from start to finish. Now I wish I were the one traveling to Iceland!
