Definitely not worth it

Certainly seems comprehensive as advertised. Moving to Switzerland tomorrow, so I'll soon find out how it holds up.

[Paul Dabrowa]

A great book. Useful to know the basics of moving to Switzerland for work.

[Rill]

Surprisingly funny

[Aleksandar Stupar]

Rich with information and well organized. Some facts are wrong thought and in some cases important details are missing.

[Jo]

Well laid out with tons of useful info about Switzerland and things to consider when moving there. Some inaccuracies such as the statement that the Swiss don't track gun crime statistics, which they do. You can tell the book is updated in bits throughout a long time period as some areas talk about stats in different years or decades than others with more recent info. Overall highly useful and informative. Good starting point.

[Márcia Cavalinhos]
