A funny take on a young Englishman's year in France. The main character tries to date various locals and works for a slimy boss. It's fairly astute and entertaining.

Hmmm... can I award zero stars? Oh! Yes! Yes I can. And I do. Got through an hour on the audiobook, and pulled the earplugs. Totally unamusing, nothing even remotely interesting to make me want to continue. I agree with all the one and less star reviewers. Awful.
Clever and funny.
Pretty much wanted to deport the protagonist within the first few pages of the book. Two stars only for a few interesting cross-cultural insights.
Sort of ridiculous, but good summer entertainment.
