Thank you NetGalley, publisher and author for an opportunity read this book.

I requested this book hoping I would learn something new about Canada (and I did), and I understand this was suppose to be funny (and sarcastic), but I also found it to be extremely negative . It just didn't really appeal to me, although I can see that many would find it quite amusing .

Following in the footsteps of The Onion and the Daily Show's "America (The Book)," the authors revel in irreverence from cover to cover in a take on their home country that brings both laughs and a surprising amount of information presented through its comical lens. Brown, Mochama and Zarzycki have done an excellent job of taking down the book's focus in a way that honestly helps present Canada as a far more curiously complex and personality-packed nation than many take it for (speaking as an American from down south across the border). At the very least, upon finishing this book you'll come away with the helpful reminder that nowhere is perfect; rather, every place simply has their own unique mix of bizarre histories, cultural quirks and absurd politics.
