For one thing, the author's use of language is very, very repetitive, and she uses some words and phrases that I found quite irritating, such as "Eeyoreishness", "oh, come off it", "social dis-ease" repeatedly throughout.There's also the false pretense that the author is just some idiot with no special knowledge and that she's coming upon this information in the same order the reader is and formulating her conclusions as she goes, and obviously that's not the case; Fox is an accomplished anthropologist and books aren't written like that. She collected the information first and put it together in a specific and intentional order, and pretending that that's not the case seems pointless and dumb. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun and insightful read *by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018* As a way to really get some sense of Englishness, this is well worth the read. Fox does a fine job of incorporating the trademark English humour throughout the book, and makes a fine go at really covering a wide range of situations. If there is any fault in the book, it is that at times it violates its stated cardinal rule of Englishness: it almost becomes too earnest in spots. Still, if you are travelling, or are an Anglophile, or just curious (or, heavens forbid, are actually English) this is a good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kate Fox's book was still useful! I had worked out quite a lot by ... *by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2014* Although I have lived in this country for nearly 30 years now, Kate Fox's book was still useful ! I had worked out quite a lot by myself but certainly not all her scientifically obtained characteristics.I appreciate even more my English friends' patience as they had to discover that I am not really rude by being so direct and that my seriousness is to be taken with a pinch of salt.The book is a bit repetitive - but then, there was a book to fill. And as the author demonstrates her Englishness in her writing, the stylish - classy I should say - wit and humour keep it readable. I'll certainly recommend the book to all foreigners living in this country or having to work with British people as it will help mutual understanding and provide a chuckle on a rainy day. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/66625386-watching-the-english](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/66625386-watching-the-english) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
