Actually i read most of it to the whole family (including two sons of 15 and 13). All of us liked it very much. It is not only a sometimes hilarious and politically non-correct book about how the Dutch (ab)use their language, but also about our social habits. ( )

Very confronting but very funny like some other reviewers have said. Had to laugh out loud several times. Normally I'm not really a fan of the essay format but with this book I experienced no problems at all. Couldn't put it down. I recommend it if you want something lighthearted to read. ( )

This was a funny and confronting light read about the way we use our language (Dutch) at the moment. The book is full with anecdotes about how we use words in strange ways, get irritated by that, but also find out that we are doing it ourselves as well.

The stories are very recognizable and I guess books like this exist in every language.
