Title: A dreadful memoir
Review: This pretentious and narcissistic memoir may be useful if you are a member of the glitterati. Otherwise, look elsewhere for an authentic glimpse of Parisian life.His experiences are bear no resemblance to the lives of any average (or above average) Parisian, but embody the experiences of a snobbish expatriate who is far removed from the realities of his readers.His familial anecdotes gave me the same cornball emotions of a bad "Full House" rerun. The stories of his son could just as easily be one of the wretched Olsen twins displaying their fake cutesiness to a maudlin television audience.His insights are vapid, superficial, and excessively sentimental: Hardly a breakthrough in French cultural studies. It is certainly not deserving of the fine reviews churned out by his publicity manager.
