I still don't know about this book. It seems like the author was trying to write in an uncomfortable style. The language is stilted and stressed, as if there is an attempt to sound smarter and more clever. Remember in English class when you had to write in a particular style which was not your usual voice, and it just didn't sound authentic? Yeah, it's kinda like that. It interfered with the story and took a lot away from it for me.

    While I will agree with the editorial review stating that this novel is rich with details of France and the culture, I do not agree with the "WIT". For me, an interesting story got muddled throughout with too many attempts at humor, there were numerous times when you just wanted to skip ahead to the storyline and not waste your time on the attempts of being clever..... One review does state that this novel is attempting to "start the world apology tour"all over again, sadly I would have to agree, she did seem to have an axe to grind with George W Bush, Fox news, and Conservatives in general....
    That being said, if you can get past that liberal progressive crap, you just might enjoy this book as the story line is sweet.
    MOM ALERT: no detailed sex scenes, which is refreshing, but occasional vulgarity which actually seemed really out of place within this novel.

    !

    People have complained about the "uncomfortable" style of the book and how the style seems forced. However, it does not seemed forced at all to me. To me, it is beautiful and complex, and Daisy' s fresh humor, honesty, and admittidly melodramatic moments are what makes this book one of the best ones that i have read all year. Combined with the amusing , sterotypical views of what americans think the french think of americans, the novel comes to life and the reader feels the emotions of the characters. I was very emotional about the ending, and also very surprised....

    To much of ....?

    So much about nothing. Goes on about art, writing, books and paris. The characters are lost. You read a lot of babble before the characters come back. You need to know a lot about the art. Books ect.. to be able to move around and enjoy this book.

    Good Story

    Having been to Paris and loved it I expected more of Paris and its environs as the reviews stated. Good story but I felt it kind of petered out in the end.

    Save you time

    Unless you like to read random babbling. I will be deleting immediately from my nook. You can flip 15 pages and not miss anything important.
