Play nice but ...

This book is enjoyable and entertaining but sometimes caricatured as regards the behavior of the French. Indeed, some examples concern simply rude French whose behavior shocked just as their compatriots. All French doctors do not exercise in dingy halls of buildings, and the taxi drivers are not all boors.
In fact this book describes rather caricatures of typical Parisian French. A rather easy book even touting the merits. But well over form.
