Title: Wicked Greek: For the Traveler (Wicked Travel Series) by Howard Tomb ISBN: 1-56305-707-7 Publisher: Workman Publishing Pub. Date: 01 June, 1995 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $4.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: A lot of fun!
Comment: Just fun, not really to do with the language...
Rating: 5
Summary: Hilarious for the insider!
Comment: This witty little book does an excellent job of translating Greek phrases into English that will almost never be of use by the every day traveler. But the brilliance of it is in its insight: its ability to poke fun at the 'Greek way,' elevate the Greeks to the pinnacle of civilization, and relate every day American views to ancient or modern Greek custom. This is a must for any American who has been immersed in Greek culture, as only a person experienced with Greece can fully appreciate this book. I TREASURE my copy.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great, well, unless if you're Greek...
Comment: This book is great. It's full of phrases and information on the Greek culture. It gives great suggestions on how to dine, such as:
"Feel free to visit the resturant's acquarium and mark a creature for death. Agree on a price before cooking. For the freshest possible seafood, choose a live squid from the tank and have the staff beat it to death on the floor while you watch."
Wow, that was the best seafood I'd ever had! This book also has great suggestions on how to talk to your Greek taxi driver: "Yes, you're right. I am a godess. I do not wish to ride with other passengers. Nor do I wish to visit your cousin's jewlery shop. Slow down or I'll turn you into a sow/lizard/chicken kabob. Make me an offering of your worry beads. Maybe I'll tip you/let you live." Plus the question we have all wanted to know, "Will your plastic saints protect us?"
