 Rating:  - Knowledge is powerThis hits the spot - it tells you some of those things that you'd find out by spending time in NZ or with Kiwi's. Just remember, its a beautiful country...! Rating: - Brilliant workBrilliant work which shows great insight into the beliefs and fables of New Zealanders in both a contemporary and historical context, in a humorous way which reflects the Kiwi ability to laugh at themselves I am sure there isn’t a New Zealander around who couldn’t recognize the traits portrayed in either themselves or people they know. I also have no doubt that in time the guide will be seen as an important historical resource – where else can you find accurate and pertinent data spanning generations of New Zealanders in just 63 pages! The authors are to be congratulated for truly encapsulating the Kiwi trait of being able to laugh at themselves. The most hilarious book I have read in ages. Rating: - Nostalia and LaughsWriting this as a critical kiwi, I thought it was a fantastic book, was a a real treasure! I had no idea there was so many mannerisms and thoughts I have that are so particular to the kiwi way of life! Felt very nostalgic at times and felt homesick, but laughed just as much! Could not put it down, will make sure my English friends and family read it so they understand me better!
