I enjoyed reading this book, reminiscing about my life in Paris. Paris looks romantic and charming while it is sometimes snobbish and expensive in fact. But remember that this is how Paris is. This is how Paris keeps fascinating people for centuries. Very frankly this book shows readers what makes Paris so attractive. The writer is an American journalist, not a French excessively proud of France, which is why this book is worth buying and reading. After finishing this book, I felt nostalgic about Paris and Parisians. So will you, I bet.
