    Good Points: Michael Sadler in An Englishman in Paris doesn't leave anyone out--French or British. He simply calls it.


    General comments: I believe I learned more about living in France by reading this book than the nine visits I have made to the country. The French are maddening wonderful people, and what they could (and do say) about les americains and our idiosyncrasies in language, bizarre gestures, etc. would be volumes. Thanks, M. Sadler, for writing the perspective. This book should be required reading for anyone going to France with a discussion to follow on, "What's weird about Americans." We'd miss our flight.

    Michael Sadler, An Englishman in Paris: L'education Continentale - I had 4 hours to spend in London Heathrow. I bought that book, started it and found myself laughing on my own, sat in the quiet waiting room of terminal 4. I'm French. Everything in the book is so real and to see it through the eyes of an Englishman is even more hilarious. Anyway, all the strange food he talks about, I have never tasted it !!!

    I was given Michael Sadler, An Englishman in Paris: L'education Continentale by my wife, after I had been working in Paris for about a year, though travelling home every weekend. I devoured every page, smiling most of the time and laughing out loud often at Michael Sadler's witty observations of Parisian life. It made me long to find my own 'local' and to become part of it rather than just visit.
