meh. guess I'm not brainy enough to rave over this book. intriguing, but didn't keep me captivated - felt too disjointed.

Ridiculously good read! I can't even really describe what it's about, there's so much going on - in a good way. It's reminiscent of The Poisonwood Bible. Truly stunning book, I was literally STUNNED by the ending. Two thumbs way up.

Meh. There were some interesting antecdotes regarding the differences between French and Americans, but I felt like she kept repeating the same information. Definitely gave me a few things to think about. However, it could have easily been boiled down to a magazine article. I also became annoyed at the collective 'we' when she'd talk about guilt-ridden, neurotic American moms - some gross generalizations going on about moms as well as our children.
