Guide to Cross-Cultural Communication Book

I was given this book by a friend who read it in a grad school class. She found it meaningful in reflecting on her own childhood, during which she lived on several different continents.

I found it interesting, although more so at the beginning (when it discussed actual cultural perspectives) than at the end (when it gave rather obvious checklists of how to apply the earlier information.)

I have no idea how to rate this book. It is easy-to-read, and it gets its points across clearly and succinctly. It is not a literary masterpiece, but I cannot fault it that -- it was not meant to be.
