About this audiobook
A first shot of Iceland with an aftertaste of rotten shark. A small unpretentious introduction to Iceland's way of life, focused on Reykjavík. Swiss superspy Hans-Ueli Stauffacher is sent one full calendar year to Iceland to understand why Icelandic people are happier than Swiss people...

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It is somewhat low on content and the attempts to be entertaining mostly fall short. OK to listen for an hour while driving through Iceland.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I would’ve loved to hear more of it! It reminded my of my Icelandic travels. Perhaps too short, as I got more into it, it was wrapping itself up. þetta Reddast
