Through reading his website blog, I became a fan of Mr Rae's writing before I touched this book. I was pleased to find the same tongue in cheek humor. Septic's Companion has two major features, the first being a short and sweet guide to British culture and then an A-Z dictionary of British terms. The features may not be 100% accurate but they are 110% entertaining. The book is written from the point of view of Brit living in Seattle, aimed at Americans.
