5.0 out of 5 stars If you like A Year in the Merde... 20 April 2011

By jenny thomasson

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

then you'll love this. I personally find Stephen Clarke to be an honest and very funny man. If you have a bit of a Paris obsession like myself, then it's nice to have the views of someone who is living that life! The opinions in this book are clearly his own and of course open to debate, however, if you want a book to pass some time in an informatively funny way then you'll like this. I think I now own everything he's written to date, and would always recommend his books to others purely because he makes me laugh.
If you want something touching and historically accurate then go buy Graham Robbs book,Parisians, an adventure history, which is also very good, but in a very different way.

I eargerly await your next offering Stephen, you put a smile on my cynical face!

3.0 out of 5 stars Paris Revealed: Stephen Clarke 20 July 2011

By Justin O'Connell

Format:Hardcover

Ideal for someone who knows Paris well, or is about to move there. I don't so I found it more interesting to dip into. Some interesting historical insight but the section about the metro lines was too detailed for me. I really enjoy Stephen Clarke's books, however, and have read most of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not ANOTHER book on Paris? 4 April 2011

By Big Jim TOP 50 REVIEWER

Format:Hardcover

This is a decent enough read, loads of facts that you won't necessarily find in a guide book, easily digested chapters and a fair few jokes all combine to make this an easy to read and enjoyable book but there is something missing. The lack of seriousness the author brings to the subject became grating for me, and eventually I had to put the book down as I found myself becoming annoyed at the endless attempts at humour. I suppose the fault lies in my expectations as I should have realised what the book was about as the author specialises in witty and offbeat collections of facts and stories and this book is no different. So I couldn't read the book as you might read a novel, but as a pick up and put down book ideal for the bedside or the smallest room in the house.On that basis it works but don't expect any great revelations about the city of lights.

4.0 out of 5 stars Paris Revealed

Very informative and with great humour,
but as it's from the same author as '1000 years of Annoying the French', that was to be expected!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read, and even a good re-read.

I moved to Paris about a year ago and bought a few books to learn about the place. This is one of the best ones. Read more
