Read this for research purposes. The author relates everything back to Sweden. Yes we get it. You are Swedish.
The middle third is decent. But he makes numerous references without explaining them, expecting us all to know everything about Club Med. You call it a history, then you got some 'splainin' to do!
Edit: months later, I realize much of the stuff, whether I like it or not, has implanted itself in my brain. Good work Lofgren, you earn another two stars.

I'm not usually a fan of non-fiction, but this book was interesting and engaging. I would recommend it.
