I really, really enjoyed this book! I wasn't sure if I would but I gave it a try and it was so good! I wanted to be annoyed by his constant name-dropping but he's just such a loveable guy that I just couldn't! Usually the cocky types really bug me--but I really think his cockiness is just a cover for insecurities...he seems like he was a really great guy. (Just read last week that he had passed away). I actually cried at the end because everything turned out so well! :) I especially liked it that he made mention of the book, "Best Loved Poems of the American People". This was one of my grandma Betty's favorite books and my mom has found a poem from it for me here and there over the years. (

There are times where Art Buchwald was an insufferable bore, and other times when he was actually witty and interesting. The book has elements of both Buchwalds, but luckily it's more the latter than the former. His books of alleged humour haven't held up nearly as well, I think, but this memoir of Paris in the 1950s and early 1960s reads fairly well. There's a lot of name-dropping here, though some of it is tongue in cheek. Some of it might even be true, who knows? (

I never cared for Art Buchwald's syndicated column or style of humor, but his memoir of living in Paris from the late 1940's to early 1960's is a treat to read. Lively, engaging, sometimes funny, and sometimes more serious. Lots of name dropping, most of it in a nice way. Good photo section. I enjoyed it a lot. (

Art Buchwald's memoirs of his time in Paris from age 22 in 1948, landing a job with the Paris Herald Tribune, writing a column "Paris After Dark", marrying and doing what his foster childhood never prepared him for: starting a family. Better than his columns, not as good as Russell Baker's memoirs. Illustrated with photographs. (
