New York Times "Finally, for those inclined to undertake their own spiritual journeys, 'How to Be a Perfect Stranger' tells visitors what to expect."
Jewish Week, 01/05/1996 "The book's tone is one of respect to all traditions. Each chapter, based on questionnaires answered by leaders of the various religious groups, follows the same format, beginning with a brief but informative introduction to a religion, its history and ideology, followed by details on basic services and their choreography, holy days and festivals, lifecycle rituals and home celebrations." -- Sandee Brawarsky
