Summary: An enjoyable read
Review: This book was too hard to put down. My sister bought it and read it in a day and said the book was good. I read it after her and she was right about that. The author with her social knowledge of the French, made it entertaining and worthwhile to read. Imagine yourself in Paris at a cafe by yourself elegantly dressed and calm and by chance a man seeks your affections. This book was a breath of fresh air as to how French women celebrate their feminity and embrace life. They don't let the little stuff worry them like some of us do. While I was reading this book, I felt a bit more satisfied with who I am and how I should celebrate myself as a woman.

Summary: Charming Little Read for Francophiles
Review: This is a charming little tribute to the je-ne-sais-quoi of the French woman. It's sweet, fairly interesting and a lovely little read.Unfortunately, this books seems to be marketed as a How-to-Become-French Manual: it's not; rather, this book celebrates what it is to be feminine - delicate china, coy smiles, satin sheets, coquettish scarves tied just so, the appreciation of poetry and a good bottle of wine. If you're inclined to believe that all you must do to be the tragically beautiful femme fatale archetype is to read this book and follow its 'instructions,' you're sorely mistaken. Instead, read this book and enjoy it for its anecdotes about historical french women and its suggestions of romance and love without guilt. It is a little bit shorter than I expected, and the author could have delved further into each topic of her book. The length of the book and its superficial treatment of its topics were the greatest disappointments I had with the book.

Summary: French Women have Got it Right
Review: This was an awesome look into French culture and the allure of french women. I think more American women should follow their lead. The author also threw in some history and some awesome quotes. Overall, a great book.

Summary: Poorly researched tome for the truly desperate and boring
Review: Ugh! If this book could have been given a negative star rating, I would have done so. Ms. Kunz's premise is silly and tiresome - the stereotypically frumpy, clueless, unfeminine American woman desperately in need of "Vamp" boot camp secrets from our supposedly "skilled" French sisters. I don't know who she associates with, but the American women I know are managing quite well, thank you, without having to resort to emotional blackmail and childishness to land and retain a mate, or lead fulfilling lives. Moreover, none of the French women I've met would ever conduct themselves in such a shameful, self-deprecating manner. Especially nauseating are her treatises on how French women supposedly don't need to take the lead role in anything (business, politics, etc.), because they can sexually manipulate their lovers or husbands into doing their bidding. Tell that to Simone de Beauvoir! All of her impressions are amazing if you consider the fact that she admits to not having very many French female friends, which lead me to think the book was penned after downing a few too many magnums of Bollinger, and hallucinating (a la Patsy and Eddie in Ab Fab; Actually, the book would have been a worthwhile read if that were the case. Confidence is what makes a woman sexy, not frilly undies, degrading sex-for-resource/money/power exchanges, or molding yourself into what you are not. Be proud of who and what you are! Are you listening, Ms. Kunz?
