Summary: A Look into America From Outside Eyes
Review: American culture from days past is sometimes interesting to look at. Nowhere can a less biased view of the 1950's be found than in the eyes of a foreigner. If that is what you seek then this is a good book. The plot kicks off pritty well. The book draws you in, bringing forth events that make you think. I reccomend reading to page 197 to anyone. Then strange things start to happen. Labro goes on for a few chapters about springtime. With the kinky/racey stuff long-gone, the reader might as well quit now. There are a few high moments before the end but it doesn't come near the intrest found in the first half. So overall I give this book a decent score because it is based on something that really happened. We can't all expect our lives to be interesting. If you're a book lover, you'll like it. If you speak french, it might amuse you. If you're looking for something more enlightening to read, try Ayn Rand.

Summary: Tender and sincere
Review: Wonderful reminiscenes of a French students year at Washington and Lee. Tender and sincere, it evokes the feelings of youth, the period of the late 50's, and the characteristics of the south I experienced thirty years later. Fairly easy to understand in French.
