I bought this book because:
1) I have French friends and have no idea what the hell they're thinking
2)I have an infatuation with French men and have no idea what the hell they're thinking
3)I am slowly being seduced by all things French and have no idea what the hell I'm thinking
The French mentality is so fascinating to me because I don't understand it beyond what seems like a mix of class, snobbery, and something alluring.
This book is a funny, quick read, but the author forgets one crucial fact: for everything he bitches about sucking in France, one must remember that in Italy, things are a hundred times worse. Someone should write a book about that.
