An interesting, informative and entertaining read with the author's broad knowledge and wry humour! However, it is a bit outdated as it is missing all the technological updates of the noughties and can make one wonder if it is outdated in regards to social conventions as well (since technology impacts communication). However the overall philosophy and motivations of what drives the USA today and the culture shock differences that arise are inherently the same. If wanting to read this book, recommend a much more updated version. Enjoy! ( )
