A rather silly book that starts by repeating urban legends as fact and therefore leads me to suspect every fact presented here. It's been called racist and stereotypical, and I can easily see why.
Nonetheless, there is value here. Not in the stereotypes, but merely the realisation that gee, in different cultures people communicate differently. This should be Captain Obvious level stuff, and yet to a socially phenomenally unskilled person like myself it was something I had never really grasped. Still, I'd advise the reader to assume that every conclusion presented here is suspect, at least, and keep in mind the perspective of the writer at all times.
