The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British by Sarah Lyall
3.0
Though it may appear that I am damning with faint praise, the phrase that keeps coming to mind as I think about this book is "not bad". There are moments of witty insight, and the author's style is likable. My disappointment is of my own making, I suppose. I was expecting a personal narrative to anchor the story, but it is very much a "field guide" approach that picks up a topic, examines and illustrates, and sets it down again.
nit-picks: The cover art is just silly and annoying. Moreover, I found it jarring to begin with the chapter on attitudes towards sex. This would have been better placed further into the book.
audiobook note: an enjoyable read by Cassandra Campbell
