French Lessons: A Novel Audiobook

" First to be hoenst, I did not peersonally read this book all the way through, I did give it to my mother that did soemwhat enjoy it, but did not like how it seemed to end many stories thoughout the book. It was interesting, and couldprovide for a great story. Look forward to seeing other books by Ellen Sussman. "

" This probably could have been a really good book. But I was constantly distracted from the story by the use of the f-word by all of the characters. It wasn't occasionally used but it seemed to be attached to any comment they made. It was a bit of a stretch for me to believe ALL of the people use this word ALL of the time. Sad. I finally gave up about a quarter of the way through when I realized there would be no let up. "

" Nice, light and possibly R-rated (but tasteful) read about three Americans in Paris and the tutors they become involved with. It takes place in the course of a single day and the author cleverly revisits the same events from different characters' perspectives. I read it on an airplane and enjoyed the escapist fantasy. I actually think I might like it even better as a movie along the lines of "Love, Actually." "

" this is a fun sexy, romp through Paris and the stories of 3 French tutors. i found the story engaging and the characters so perfectly flawed they were just like so many of us. no deep reading here folks, just a light look at love and longing in Paris. "

" This was a good book. Every so often it was heartbreaking. I would read it again but it probably is not on my top favorite books list. "

" I think I loved this book because of its setting - Paris. The characters take walking tours of some of my favorite places, so it was easy to feel a part of the atmosphere. It's a very easy read and just a lot of fun if you want to remember what it's like on the streets of Paris. "

" What a wonderful story, i felt like i was in Paris.. "

" Just a fun read, that's all. If you've ever been to Paris (where I was when I bought and started reading this book) you'll really enjoy the references to all of the places around the city. "

" A fun romp through Paris with emphasis on the word romp! "

" Can't believe this got onto a best seller list. "

" A fun read. Not too deep, but enjoyed the characters, Paris and the issues the characters were dealing with. "

" a good book, would recommend "

" Loved this little book of interwoven vignettes involving 3 French tutors in Paris. Nothing deep, just good story-telling with interesting characters grappling with the meaning of love in all its forms. "

" the three stories are great, I enjoyed the description of the city and reminded me of places I had already been. the ending was al ittle disapointing because it just left you there whitout knowing what really happens. great recomendation if you are traveling to Paris. "

" The book was about three French tutors who know each other. While each tutor has his own story in the book, they really could have been three separate books. I think each story leaves you hanging for closure. "

" Okay. More interesting than some beach reads but definitely a beach read. Had higher hopes. "

" Entertaining, a quick read, lots of sex. "

" Not quite what I was expecting (my fault, for not reading the blurb!), but still an engaging read. "

" Should be 3.5 stars. A good fun quick read. Take it to the beach! "

" Quick read, kept my attention, but nothing special. I'm not a big fan of quick flings and cheating. "

" Three tutors of a company which provides French lessons to Americans in Paris both learn from and teach the ones they are assigned to tutor. Was not sure I'd like it, but I did. Fairly quick read. "

" High end chic lit pure and simple. Perfect vacation/summer reading. Sweet story, one day in Paris, happy ending. What could be better? "

" It would have gotten five stars, but the last vignette was somehow less-than the previous two. Less urgent, maybe? Maybe it was the male protagonist I didn't adore (!) as much as the female protagonists. Still, an engaging and transporting read. "

" I received this book as a part of First Reads on Goodreads. It's a nice, intertwining tale about three French tutors and their relationships with their students and each other, told over the course of a day. It's definitely a good option for a beach read. "

" Somewhat enjoyable, light read. The story is split into 3 different stories, following 3 french tutors. I felt no connection to the characters. Since the novel is split into 3 I think the author did not develop the characters enough. "
