Notes from an even Smaller Island - Neil Humphreys

Notes from an even Smaller Island is the first book of three by Neil Humphreys on Singapore. The book is hilariously scripted with the introductions of every chapter leaving you wondering what Neil is going to comment on. For example, he may grumble about shopping with his girl friend and lead up to critique the "kiasuism" in Singapore. While he may sound casual in his writing, relating comical experiences with his readers, Neil makes critical observations on Singapore and its inhabitants, noting the pros and cons of our culture, language and legislation, just to mention a few. However, despite our short-comings, Neil still adores our little island, and rather be here than in his former. Overall, the book is a good for a roaring laugh almost every other page, makes constructive comments on our society and is over biased towards us.

Rating: I give the book 4 out of 5 books.
