I may be the only person in the universe, but I thought this book was a total loser. The start was boring, the violence was gratuitous and the socio-politics of the US are not of great interest presented thusly, much less Sweden's. Evidently, in Sweden 22 year olds really do know everything. I don't have a lot of time to read and I really resent spending my limited time on this type of drek because it's currently the "in" book. I won't read the others nor see the movies.

I loved this book! I felt as if I were having a lovely conversation with Ms. Child over a couple of highballs, of course. There are some somewhat startling predjudices and snobberies, but I'm not that much younger than she, and I remember well that times were just different then. This did not detract from the overall joy of sharing her experiences and "seeing" a France that is no more.
