This book is really funny and filled with dry British humour, it made me laugh out loud many times. It could be because in some sense, it's similar to Sweden, a country I've lived previously. Being married to a Swede and living in the UK, it was easy to relate to it to a certain degree. Having said that, it appears that Danes are so much more free and in a certain way, they seem to have an attitude of “as long as you're happy, anything is allowed”. That part of their life, I did not enjoy, nor reading about how free they are to express themselves sexually. Therefore, I would not recommend the book as there is almost a whole chapter talking about that. If you really want to read the book, go ahead but it's not worth spending the time unless you are actually listening to the book so you can actually do something else in the meantime. Also, the last few sentences of the book summarise the whole book pretty well.
