Living Among the Swiss :

Rating:
Summary: Strangely focused book
Review: This is a weird book. If you happen to be a stock analyst specializing in American stocks for sale in the European market, and planning to move to Switzerland, this book probably has a lot to offer you. Otherwise, there are plenty of better books out there. It contains a rather small guide to hiking and skiing trails in certain areas of Switzerland, plus some extensive and cynical views of the Swiss banking and stockbrokering system. The author also displays a certain amount of homophobia, in case that matters to you. John McPhee's book gives a much better look at the Swiss character, and just about any travel guide gives you more travel information.

Summary: Very Limitied, not very helpful to me
Review: While somewhat interesting, in my opinion the subject matter was lacking. A bit more about banking than I care to read about.
