really liked it

This is a bathroom book - short little essays easily digested in a single sitting. Each essay covers some topic of French culture and he tries to be funny, occasionally successfully. It is very honest about some of France's failings, and gives the sorts of insights you don't get as an outsider. Each chapter closes with a "useful tip" on the topic, and a topical phrase in French "How to sound like a French person."
He is a small business owner, and the prejudices of his class are apparent in his approach to a few questions (particularly taxes and immigration) but honestly, that probably makes this book more accessible to Americans. He's also fairly young so the chapter on music and his music recommendations are great.
If you want something better to look at then your phone in the bathroom, give this a read.
