Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Graham Halstead gives a top-notch performance.... The nuances of French idiosyncrasies sparkle in this lively listening experience." ( AudioFile)

Absolutely fantastic read!

Hysterically funny! I’m going to listen to this one again. And I have recommended it to all my fellow Francophiles.

Very informative, political bias aside

The author is unapologetically critical of issues he believe France is wrestling with right now, and depending on how comfortable you are with right wing politics, you will like it to different degrees. But I urge you to put biases aside, because whenever Olivier decided to skimp on politics, this book is hilarious and extremely rich in cultural niches you otherwise won’t learn without dating a French person.

So insightful

This author’s books are must-read if you want to understand contemporary French psyche. I

Right wing propaganda thinly veiled as culture

I was delighted with many of the observations in the book, particularly in the beginning. But then midway through, the book became angry, and the more I listened, the more I felt like I was listening to some Le Pen speech. No thanks.
