Pleasing to Read, But Some Reservations. I am something of a Scandi fan--contemporary books, great looking landscapes and was intrigued by the author's premise that the Nordic countries (Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Sweden) are very near to being great places but-----. I definitely agree with his feeling that most of the world has only a vague idea of the differences between these countries. All that info was very interesting and he is a very funny writer. The many surveys, indices and writings he sites to support his feelings about the countries are not directly connected to something that could easily be checked. A mention here, a claim there. Are these really trustworthy? Seems a little doubtful to me. GDP for instance is a controversial method of deciding economic health. I came away feeling a little disappointed. Do I really want to travel in those countries. Are the people a little too mediocre and boring? Are they drunken louts and bigots? Lazy welfare cases???

Informative and hilariously funny at times. Informative and hilariously funny at times, Michael Booth’s, ‘The Almost Nearly Perfect People: Behind the Myth of the Scandinavian Utopia’ is an insightful read for those who have traveled, or ever wanted to travel, in Scandinavia.

Almost perfect + cold weather. Entertaining, well written, full of anecdotes and useful infos. The author made his point, but I still prefer the North just for a Summer vacation. :)
