All in all essential reading for anyone planning a trip there or remotely interested in the place., This little book is hilarious, highly entertaining and filled with wonderful details. Yes, Icelanders are notoriously unpunctual. Yes, they have annoying breaks in movie theatres in the middle of the show. And yes, they don't know moderate drinking - at all. Whilst indulging in xenophobic and superficially-appearing yet "so true" facts about Icelanders, it becomes clear that Icelanders are charming folk, who the author loves just as much as the reader will., 'Fantastic portrayal of a nation. I'm Icelandic myself and everything this book states is completely correct and a greatly humorous view of the nation.', Great & Humorous Insight. What a delightful surprise I had in store when I purchased this book for a friend that will be traveling to Iceland for the first time. I couldn't put it down once I opened it. Filled with humor, it is delightful from start to finish. Now I wish I were the one traveling to Iceland!, 'This little book is hilarious, highly entertaining and filled with wonderful details.

Synopsis
""Not only has an Icelander held the title of World's Strongest Man, but there have been several Icelandic Miss Worlds. There have also been a surprising number of Icelandic chess grandmasters, and Iceland has more writers and artists per capita than any other country on earth. These facts reinforce the Icelanders' belief that they are a nation of strong, beautiful and intelligent people.""""The essence of Icelandic conversation is the insult. Icelanders are born with a talent for it and use it with ease from an early age. Because of their farming and fishing ancestry the most telling jibes involve sheep and fish. It is a very serious matter to refer to someone as a sheep or a codhead."", " Not only has an Icelander held the title of World's Strongest Man, but there have been several Icelandic Miss Worlds.
