Merde Happens
Merde Happens by Stephen Clarke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third in a series by Clarke featuring Paul West, a British ex-pat living in Paris. This time, Paul takes his adventures overseas to America. But don’t worry, he still continues to give his hilarious opinion on the French since his French girlfriends comes along for the adventure.

I agree with another reviewer that this may be his best of the series or at least as good as the first one, A Year in the Merde. Merde Happens was a quick read that had me chuckling to myself and looking forward to the next time I could pick it back up.

This book and the whole series is especially fun if you have every studied French, have experience with the French or have traveled France although not a requirement since Clarke is a wonderful humor writer. He really captures the conversation and somehow has mastered the ability to write in comedic timing!
