This was a slog and I didn't like it. He has some interesting fun facts about Danish history but the rest of the book is just rehashing the same shit over and over again. I skipped an entire chapter about Christmas. This whole thing could have been a bullet point list, which probably would have been more helpful. He says some gross stuff about women and takes on this persona of the expert on every person in Denmark. Dude, everyone likes candles, blankets, and cake. This isn't Denmark-specific. This book was a boring, fetishizing take on a concept that doesn't need 300 pages.
