A Must Read October 9, 2008 This book is a must read for those interested in travelling to Germany or those who want a better grasp on German culture. I am the daughter of two German immigrants and married to a German man- this book really hit home. I found everything factually accurate. The author is well versed on the subject and his love for German culture shines through. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to expand their knowledge of this wonderful and diverse country and its people.
A fun read and a useful travel companion October 4, 2008 This book is a lighthearted delightful read. Not only did I enjoy but while visiting Germany I passed it around to my German colleagues and they loved it for its descriptive accuracy of customs and differences region by region. If going to Germany or if you enjoy German culture you will find the book amusingly accurate fun book that is also a useful travel companion.
A True View of Modern German Culture September 30, 2008 This book was a great read. Growing up in a family of German Hertiage and visiting Germany I can say this book hits the nail on the head. It is a fun, and light hearted read, that gives great insite to Modern Germany. From the description of the crosswalks and rules in Germany (I have also been corrected in Munich for not waiting til the light said it was ok to cross) to the Bier, customs and quirks. The book is a great travel companion to any person planning to visit Germany for the first time or the tenth time. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, even those who may never even visit the Vaterland (though everyone should at least once!).
Great insight about German Culture! September 23, 2008 My husband & I are planning a trip to Germany. After reading "Those Crazy Germans," I have a keen insight into the German culture and will have a more appreciative trip. Our itinery is now more specific to enjoy the people besides just the highlights. It's an easy read with plenty of suggestions. It's a must buy before you go there. Diane Conrad
