Reviews of Anne Linden's Assumptions and Misunderstandings

Reviews taken from Amazon.com, all are five star ratings.

J. Ferguson reports "A good Read".
"This book is enthusiastically recommended for anyone who's looking for a very readable and engaging picture of what Peace Corps service in Eastern Europe is like, or for any returned PCV's who want to be entertained by an account of PC life they'll joyfully identify with. The book brings home beautifully the clash of cultures any visitor to a foreign country encounters, and it may also whet your appetite for Eastern European travel -- while also providing some valuable caveats about the region, many good laughs, and even a few culinary tips you won't find anywhere else! Read it!"

Practical Shopper states "Too short". (a remark often made as Anne's readers want to know more)
"It is hard to be objective about Anne's book since I was in Ukraine at that time. I was sorry when I finished it - wished it was much longer. This book would be essential reading for anyone interested in the former Soviet Union and it's post-independence birthing pains. Well done."

Oksana Timchneko says "This book You Will Enjoy".
"If you ever enjoyed Mrs. Pollifax's adventures you will enjoy Anne Linden's story. Even more, as all events described in her elegant witty style are featured with the author's personal perception. And you definitely will be charmed with eloquent Shabunin's illustrations ."

N. Godfrey calls "Assumptions and Misunderstandings" A Captivating Journey.
"I am half way through Anne Linden's book and am captivated by her somewhat dry sense of humor and literal accounts of life immediately after Ukraine's Independence. Her stories and personal experiences are engaging and remain relevant to other foreigners working and living in Ukraine today. Much of what she describes is no longer immediately visible to newcomers, and yet the dynamics are all too familiar despite the passing of more than a decade. For those seeking a first-hand account of life after the fall of Soviet rule, prepare yourself for a personal journey through Anne's book."
