Review: Talk to the Snail: Ten Commandments for Understanding the French

Talk to the Snail: Ten Commandments for Understanding the French by Stephen Clarke
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’ve read Clarke’s other fiction comedy series centered around Paul West, a British ex-pat living in France. I enjoy his style of writing and having studied French for 4 years in high school and having visited France on several occasions, I was interested in this non-fiction book that Clarke wrote from his personal experiences.

Still funny and I enjoyed but it did get a little tedious and rambling. He does lovingly mock the French but hey, it’s the French! They deserve it! 🙂 Don’t worry, j’adore les francaises…

Anyway, I give it 3 stars only because if you are not into the subject matter, it won’t entertain you at all and because it like I already said, he did ramble on a bit at times. C’est la vie!
