Very informative - however it does pose Britain as one of the best countries in the world at times. I found this a bit annoying at times.

Everything you need to know about Great Britain. All subjects are highlighted, from the stiff upper lips to heritage and why Brits are so quirky.

A lot of information about Britain which is very useful. I gained a lot of knowledge on the UK; how it all started up until now. There were a lot of interesting subjects. Many thoughts I had about the UK has changed ever since I've read it. Everything makes more sense now and there are a few traditions that are very rare which made reading this book more fun.

However, I give this book 3 stars because I don't think it is well structured and structure is very important in my opinion. It was a bit chaotic for me to read. First it starts with a lot of history and then all of the sudden it's about geography, and then again about something different.
