"i love books like this. but it's like reading a lonely planet then taking it back to the library, then going on vacation...i could never retain all of the information. i think i just need to buy it to have as a reference book."

" Talk about overwhelming!! I would never try to read this from cover to cover again. Forced to do this for a previous job and it was confusing. It is interesting to learn about other cultures, but I would recommend this as more of a resource to thumb through than to actually read like I had to. "
— Michelle, 10/10/2009 -
