Exceptional second book
3 April 2009
Format:Hardcover
Most authors never write a second book let a lone a potential second bestseller. Wisner broke the sophomoric blues and followed through with a gem. Nice guys do sometime win. Wisner had been jilted at the altar but somehow made the best of his situation and found happiness. He set out with his brother again to discover how the rest of the globe makes love. He's now married with a young son and became a better observer and writer. Go get this book, read it and share it!

Worth Getting to the End
21 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I start to read quite a few books, often don't finish them if they aren't compelling enough. This one though decent in the beginning almost fell into the not going to finish pile. It seemed too light, and humorous in just a pleasant, cliched way. But then it picked up considerably, showed lots more depth, the humor a bit more knowing, intelligent and insightful, and then became quite touching honest and heartfelt. I like to travel a lot myself and became envious of Franz' and his brothers adventure. I'm glad he shared what he learned along with way. It was worthwhile finishing the book.
I'm between a four and five star rating here.

Not as good as his earlier book! (Unfortunately!)
8 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I wanted - badly - to like this book. I loved Honemymoon with my Brother and met the two of them during their promotional tour for it - great guys, great book, great story. I was excited about this book and I preordered it, unable to wait for it to arrive. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed it, it doesn't transcend average. First of all, it's more of a love story between Franz and his (now, new) wife. The travel that does happen is primarily interviews with random folks in different countries that results in Franz making generalizations about their lifestyles and attitudes toward love. (It seems to strive to be a sociological look at love in different cultures, but without being a systematic study with any scientific grounding behind it.) Essentially, it's a memoir about Franz finding love, set in a larger context of anecdotes about love world-wide, all chosen to complement his budding relationship.
