Summary: A Fabulous Read
Comment: This is a rare gem. A wonderfully scripted book with the appropriate amount of wit and humuor thrown in, I was hoping for more when I finished reading it. Sarah Turnbull has given us an intimate amount of how she adapts to city life in France. It is a refreshing account of life in a foreign culture. Unlike books by Peter Mayle, Carole Drinkwater which tend to be stories of country living, this book give a glimpse into city life which is what many of us are familiar with. One can also learn more about the French way of thinking (told with extreme wit and sometimes, exasperation), living, communicating and dealing with bureacracy. I highly recommend this book to all who want to know the French a little more, to find out how a girl in her twenties mustered up the courage to stay with a Frenchman she barely knew during her gap year and finally settled down for good in this foreign land that is more than half the globe away from her native Australian home and how she adapted and became "almost french", all amid a hilarious read. I caught myself chuckling away in a cafe and the subway while reading this book. Of course, no one then understood why and could have labelled me crazy, but only if they knew what a book "Almost French" is.

Summary: Enchanting
Comment: I found this book simply enchanting. I have a boyfriend who is parisian and we are thinking about moving Paris, so the book really opened my eyes on some aspects of life there. It is a close look "behind the scenes" that makes this book not only funny and romantic, but also real. For anybody who has ever dreamed about life in Paris - this is a book for you!

Summary: I laughed outloud
Comment: As an American and a part-time resident of Paris, I had to laugh at the many funny situations described in this book. It must be universal to make the same mistakes culturally and lingustically. It gives me a lot of hope that some day I too will be absorbed enough in the country and culture to deem myself, Almost French. It's a beautiful country.
