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.

Writing 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!

If you're thinking about going to New Zealand anytime soon, I would highly recommend reading this book first! It's hilarious, short and dead-on. In less than 100 pages, you'll get a very thorough introduction to the culture and people of New Zealand which will make your visit all the more amusing as you discover the stuff you've just read about to be perfectly true.
