recommended for: people looking for a crappy beach book
This book, despite being easy to read, is not good. Clarke comes across as a culturally imperialistic ass (IMHO), and his writing is clunky and just...not worth much. The book can be summed up with the following pattern: craaaaazy French business world story, hilarious anecdote about daily life/paperwork, chick he bangs. Rinse, repeat. The sequel is much worse though, so if you must, read this one.
PS: I don't know about the business world, but I have lived in France awhile now, and very few of his stories sound like anything I've come across.
