Summary: One of the funniest and truest books on Californian people!
Review: As a European who has done business in California for the past 14 years, I can say this is one of the funniest and truest books I've read on these people. No one traveling there should get off the plane without having read this little key. It is written in a humourous style that entertains while it informs. You'll laugh so hard at points that you won't believe it's true.

Summary: A "Surf City" Native
Review: As someone who was born in the section of Los Angeles known as Hollywood, and raised at the beach, south of Mr. Marais' so called "Tan Line", I found his guide to the Californians insightful and extremely humorous. For anyone who lives in, knows someone from, or just wants to visit California, this book is a must read. I really think it captures the true essence of the Californian collective psyche!

Summary: Factual, Witty and Very Funny!
Review: I am a Californian, and I loved this little book that is filled with fact and wit that had me laughing out loud. The character differences between the Northern and Southern Californians were hilarious. All of the stereotypes of the golden state were well illustrated. This is a great gift for every Californian, those who visit California, or anyone who would just like a few laughs.

Summary: Laughed Out Loud
Review: I began reading this book on my lunch break at work -- laughing out loud from the start! After work, I read it while walking to my car and while stopped at traffic lights on the drive home. Now, if that isn't a ringing endorsement! I've been to the Golden State a few times and I can vouch that the author describes Californians to a "T". This is a witty and insightful book that will be enjoyed even if you have no plans to visit. It's a lot of fun, give it a read!

Summary: Memories Of Home
Review: Like the author, I was born in Los Angeles, and spent my childhood growing up
along the Pacific Ocean in Huntington Beach. I had a chance to read this
book, and I very much enjoyed it. I think it sums up all of the Californians'
different lifestyles perfectly. I especially enjoyed the chapter on "Leisure
& Pleasure." It covered the majority of Californians. Living in California
pretty much my whole life, I would have to recommend this book to anyone who
hasn't been there.
