I loved the first two books in this series, but feel this one fell a little flat. Perhaps had he made more fun of Americans, of our quirks, eccentricities, etc, like he does the French, it would have held my interest more. I completed the book, with its rushed ending (that I found surprisingly satisfying!), but really, just wanted to go back to Clarke's first book.

Quite an enjoyable and engaging read. A little less of the whiticism that made the first two so enjoyable. The protaganist also is far less the panic-ridden sort that also tended to enliven the stories. A good read, but its more fun to imagine the story in France.

it's a very funny story about an englishman who's travelling in america with her french girlfriend in a mini.

better to read stephen clarke's first and second books before reading this.

recommends it for: those who aren't critical of their bilingual disabilities, as well as people with a sense of humour.
Third book in the Merde series. Unknowingly, I read it before the first two, because I thought this WAS the first book. Hahaha..

Funny, but somehow lacks the freshness of the first book.
