I'm a long-time BCer and just relocated from TX to FL. I was happy to see some nearby release alerts, so went to check out the LFL (which is so cute, BTW) where this was left. Most BC-labeled books appeared to already be gone, but thankfully this one was still there, as it was the one I had my eye on :)

I'll read this and release it somewhere else in the world -- my books like to travel!

Journal Entry 4 by BethanieKay at Melbourne, Florida USA on Wednesday, March 3, 2021
I'm glad I got this book at a Little Free Library, I would've been upset if I had paid anything for it.

The vast majority of this is satire and stereotypes, with some basic humor thrown in. Also consider this book was published in 2001, so it seems to me some of the stereotypes are a bit outdated, as the country has undoubtedly progressed a bit since then.

Although the book suggests that you don't need to be Canadian to enjoy it, I suspect that's untrue. Most of the jokes seem to be something only a Canadian would understand and laugh at. I'm a well-traveled person, I've been to several Canadian locations, I have friends in Canada, and I only got a few of the jokes.

That being said, I did laugh out loud at some of the writing, and I appreciated the tongue-in-cheek nature throughout. All in all, though, I don't think I'd even recommend this book to my Canadian friends.

I'll release this book somewhere new so it can travel again!
