This book is dated, superficial, and at 70 pages of fairly large type, barely a book at all. I most enjoyed counting the number of times the authors wrote "tall poppy syndrome."

After reading this book and agreeing with it's analysis of Americans, I let some of the Americans with whom I work with read it...and yes, they agree that it fits me (an Australian) down to a tee.

The book outlines some basic cultural differences that are hard to finger when you first arrive in the USA from Australia. Many of my work and social experiences living in the USA (from Australia) made a whole lot more sense after reading this book - for example the emphasis Americans place on their job titles, and their comparitive lack of long term friendships... Definitely worth a read for Australians planning to live or do business in the USA.

The book had its good points and it also had it bad points as most books do. Twelve Angry Men was a go getting attention grabber. I personally as a teen-ager enjoyed the book.

In our literature class, we did the play Twelve Angry Men. I really enjoyed it! I played Juror Number 3 and it was a really fun role to play. This book tells about how people can make false accusations without knowing all the facts. It was a play that makes you think about how people think.
