Book Reviews of My French Life
Book Review: Great photos - horrible writing
Summary: 2 Stars
The photos are absolutely gorgeous - no question! Due to it's size and the beautiful photographs, it would make a wonderful coffee table book.
Unfortunately, as for the text, it is shockingly bad. It is disjointed, uninteresting, and the writing style reminds me of the overly flowery writing of a high school student who gets extra credit for every "unique" adjective they use.
It's a rather expensive book, so if you are purchasing it solely for the photos, by all means, it is recommended. If, however, you were hoping to be inspired to visit France, gain some insight into the country or way of life, or just be entertained.... then please save your money.
Book Review: My French LIfe
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my sister-in-law as a gift as she is madly in love with France, and Paris in particular - travels there twice a year. When the book arrived, I sat down to have a closer loo, and fell in love myself... ordered another just for me.Book Review: I'm off to France!
Summary: 5 Stars
Superb book, really transports you to France. Couldn't put it down. Beautifully written, fantastic photographs, a wonderful story. A beautiful gift to give or receive. Book Review: My French Life, a review from NZ
Summary: 5 Stars
My French Life is one of those book gems....good looking not only on the coffee table but also a book capable of providing a wealth of easily read information on just what the good life in France can be like. In fact my partner has one copy and we also have another copy that we have placed in our Le Petit Hotel here in New Zealand for guests to enjoy. We are a long way from France but having a book like My French Life simply enables francofiles and others who value the best of French life, to dream of that far away land with its distinctive and quite different culture. Recommended reading.
