Publisher's summary

This guide to Mexico takes you to the heart of Mexican society. It describes how people socialize and meet members of the opposite sex, the dynamics of daily life, the central importance of family, and the annual cycle of Catholic feasts and fiestas. For business travelers, there are key sections on the economy and vital insights into the general business culture.

The third-largest country in Latin America, Mexico is hugely diverse, having both rural areas, where time seems to have stood still, and manic urban centers like Mexico City, one of the most densely populated and exciting cities in the world. Famed for its well-preserved archaeological sites, cobblestoned colonial towns, and beautiful beaches, it is a major magnet for tourists.

Mexico also has a name as a creative powerhouse in the region, with world-renowned artists such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, a cinema industry that has been producing award-winning movies since the Golden Age of the 1940s, and a literary scene second to none in Latin America.

Uhhhh. Mildly Useful

I don't write reviews often here but this book, while about 70% helpful, is wildly inaccurate at times, flat out wrong, or you are getting biased opinions from the author.

The pronunciation from the reader is laughable at times and so clear they've never been to Mexico to hear how things are properly pronounced.

They need to give this another try.

Narrator is great, just not for this material

Good content, but the pick of narrators is a little baffling. Change the narrator to a Mexican and it's a 4-5 star product.

Narrator didn't speak Spanish

Narrator's Spanish pronunciation was awful, it was hard to hear him butcher the Spanish language.

Informative but mispronounced

I am trying to learn about Mexico and I already speak Spanish, but I can’t tell what this narrator is saying when he doesn’t even half way try to pronounce the Spanish words correctly. I’m disappointed.
