Book Reviews of Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour
Book Review: I'm not crazy I'm just English
Summary: 4 Stars
The introduction was a bit dry and uninteresting but once I got in to the chapters on behaviors I couldn't put this book down.
I was born in England, my parents emigrated to the US when I was 4. I grew up "American" but I was raised by 2 English people (Mum was 30 when she had me and Dad was 40.) I've never been able to completely put my finger on why I'm more at home in England - a foreign country - than in America - my home.
It's almost a relief I'm not crazy - I'm English!
Summary of Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour
A bestseller in the UK, Watching the English is a biting, affectionate, insightful and often hilarious look English Society. Putting the English national character under her anthropological microscope, Fox finds a strange and fascinating culture, governed by complex sets of unspoken rules and bizarre codes of behavior. Through a mixture of anthropological analysis and her own unorthodox experiments-even using herself as a reluctant guinea-pig-Fox discovers what these unwritten codes tell us about Englishness.Customs & Traditions Books
