Paris, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down
by Rosecrans Baldwin

From the time he was a little boy, Rosecrans Baldwin has always loved French things. When he gets a chance (as an adult) to go and live in Paris for one year (with his wife) and work at an advertising agency, he is delighted. Here's the catch, though: he has no experience in advertising and can barely speak French. So, lucky for us, we get to read about his mistakes in communication at the office, embarrassing situations, misinterpretations and many more ho-hum escapades.
This book is not funny as other reviewers have said and the writing is slip-shod. Baldwin becomes more and more annoying. The result is, who cares? I never finished the book as everything just became too tedious.
Not recommended.
