book review - nonfiction
This week I started to read the nonfiction book by Kate Fox "Watching the English. the hidden rules of English behaviour". I've been so eager to boost my vocabulary and spent so much time picking new expressions that I haven't managed to read a lot. Nevertheless, i've read enough to be fascinated by the subtle humour of the book directed both to the nation and to herself as a member of it. The first part of the book includes some scientific basics from anthropology and therefore is sometimes rather challenging but I hope to be rewarded by further chapter devoted, as one can easily derive from the title, to those peculiarities of English behaviour that make them unique. This book consider "good" behaviour, but the author mentions that she had also spent about a decade studying deviant behaviour. I'm not sure whether this earlier reseach has taken the shape of a book or not but if yes, I'd also to like this book. Some day...

book review - nonfiction
This week I started to read the nonfiction book by Kate Fox "Watching the English: the hidden rules of English behaviour". I've been so eager to boost my vocabulary and spent so much time picking up new expressions that I haven't managed to read a lot. Nevertheless, I have read enough to be fascinated by its subtle humour addressed at both the nation and Kate herself, as one of its subjects. The first part of the book includes some scientific basics from anthropology and therefore is sometimes rather challenging but I hope to be rewarded by further chapters devoted, as one can easily derive from the title, to those peculiarities of English behaviour that define them. The book considers "good" behaviour, but the author mentions that she had also spent about a decade studying deviant behaviour. (I'm not sure whether this earlier reseach has taken the shape of a book or not but if yes, I'd also to like this book.)* Some day...*A missing word, as another reviewer says.
Very well written!

As an English person, I also enjoyed this book and found it very accurate.
I just found one mistake in your writing, in the last line there is a word missing. Can you find it?
