Kiwis cannot get enough praise of their country but they mistrust it. Because self-deprecation is paramount, they fear they are being buttered up, or somebody is having them on. Both praise and criticism are reported by the media, and are hotly debated.

The Xenophobe Guide to the Kiwis Revised Xenophobe Guides Oval Books Christine Cole Catley Simon Nicholson 9781903096871 Books Reviews

• Good overall information on what today's New Zealanders think about a myriad of topics ranging across politics, food, traditions, and being victorious in all encounters with their Oz neighbors.
• This is very entertaining, and gives me great insight into my husband and his strange ways, which sometimes seem absolutely mad! Thank you!
• I read this before going to New Zealand. It helped me understand some of the quirks of Kiwi culture and enjoy my trip.
• Funny and amazingly on target. Get this one.
• What a great book and peek into the culture! It really helped me start conversations with locals and learn about Kiwis. I'll be picking up the other Xenophobe guides for sure!
• I bought this as a humorous overview for my American girlfriend to read to perhaps explain some of my passions and idiosyncrasies as well as prepare her for a visit to NZ. I'm not disappointed by anything written in the book and hardly find anything in it terribly critical - if anything it underplays our OCD with beating Australia in Rugby & Cricket, and the national distaste for politicians, try-hards and wannabes. Buy this confident that it will raise some smiles and deliver some real, informal insight into our national psyche
• Filled with witty remarks and cliches as all other xenophobe guides. Definitely recommend to anyone interested to learn,ore about New Zealanders
• This book was a delight to read! It made me realise that a lot of my traits have a lot to do with being a kiwi and growing up in New Zealand!
  
  It's also good for partners of kiwis and friends of kiwis who aren't kiwis! My husband was in stitches during points of the book as the author/s have mentioned and said things that often come out of my very own mouth..............
  
  When you're away from NZ like I am, this book is a great little heart puller to make you giggle and understand why you miss my/our/this beautiful country so much...
  
  A highly recommended book, well written, and very kiwi styled, being true and down to earth.
  
  And of course you don't need to be a kiwi to enjoy this book, its great if your visiting NZ or just want to understand more about NZ culture.
