"Epstein's writing drips with snobbery. Rather than \"deliciously readable\" as one blurb promised, the book is tedious and does more to perpetuate snobbery than to dispell it."
"There were parts of this book I related to and thought were totally relevant. There were other parts that were written solely for an upper-middle to upper-class readership - one Epstein (snobbishly) probably assumes is his only readership. As a result, the book skips over the snobbishness of middle America (religious, jingoism, etc) that I think is the more accurate "American Version.""
