natashawing 's review for:

A Year in the Merde by Stephen Clarke

2.0

Since I'm going to Paris, a friend gave me this book to balance out the romance of the city with the reality this author experienced while working for a French company. Although I did learn some things like watch out for shit on the sidewalks, beware of flirty men, and order un demi instead of a beer so you only get a small glass, I think this story was more suitable for male readers. Much of his quest was to get laid. But there were funny passages, and I did finish it, and I will recall some of his "tips" when I'm over there. This romantic woman prefers a different look at Paris than what was portrayed here. Still, guys, you should check it out. You may get laid.
