“This is how a guide book should be written. It won’t tell you where to catch a bus in Helsinki, but it will give you a very sharp insight into the mind of the guy who drives it. It tells me things I want to know about the people; things which other guide books avoid mentioning. The first time I read it was to learn about the Finns. The second time was simply to enjoy again the brilliantly funny prose.” Review in The Guardian (#ads)
