A touch of arrogance - [04 Jan 2009]
Having just returned from France, I can say that this book is undeniably written from that French point of view of extreme cultural pride, sometimes to the point of arrogance. I didn't read this book for dieting tips, I was simply curious as to how a ...

"Living like a French woman" impractical for most Yanks. - [23 Oct 2008]
The book has some great recipes in it. But the woman is completely blind to her own pampered, entitled life and how very much she is the product of it. I'm sure it would be easier for Americans to look like French women -- if they, too, were allowed to...

Bit of a dry read - [12 Sep 2008]
Nice sized book but difficult to get into as the author uses a lot of European terms and slang that Americans don't know or use and it's difficult and dry reading. She does offer some interesting recipes but I'd never do a leek soup regime for a week ...

Um, isn't it obvious, they all smoke like chimneys! In all honesty, I lived with a French woman and I'll tell you how she stayed thin, 1 hour a day at the gym and she considered a "meal" one laughing cow cheese slice. Not rocket science, they just don...

Nothing Special - [19 Aug 2008]
I was very excited when I first got this book, but I grew more and more disappointed the more I read. The constant stereotyping was mildly irritating- yes, more Americans are overweight than the French, but we are not all the same, and we are certainly...
