Can Rachel Berry rock a beret? McKinley High goes international and invites a French glee club to town! In this hilarious culture-clash story, Kurt gets an entourage, Finn falls for a new girl, and Puck realizes that some suave moves are lost in translation. In this second original novel, you'll get more mash-ups, more show-mance, and more Sue.

Pro's/Con's
The one con that I had with this book is that everything is kind of predictable. You can easily predict what is going to happen and how everyone is going to react to it (Puck who wants to get a girl, Rachel who wants to get rid of a girl, Finn who also wants to get a girl, Kurt shopping with girls).
But other then that it is a fine book and much better then the first one. Finally something is happening and it's not even based on a TV episode so it's really brand new. That makes it a lot more interesting and I have good hopes that the next book will still be fun.

Recommend it?
Yes, I would definitely recommend this book. If you have read the first one you might be doubting if you want this one (I totally understand that since it was a bit boring) but this one will satisfy your Glee cravings much better then the first one.

uhhhh very predictable.

A French glee club is visiting the glee club at McKinley High. Can Rachel handle the competition? Why does Kurt get all the girls? Will Finn runaway to France with his new crush?


As I've said before I love, LOVE Glee and I very much enjoyed reading the first Glee novel so when this one showed up in my mailbox I had to read it ASAP.

This time the Glee kids is in for a surprise, but how will things work out when the French Glee club arrive at McKinley High? Mr. Schuster assigns each of his Glee members to a French student, they are going to show the French students around school and make sure they'll have a good time. The plot sounded great to and to some extent it was. Puck tried every trick he could think of to get a cool French girl to be his girlfriend. Rachel and Quinn both had issues with Finn getting assigned with the hottest French girl(she wasn't just hot but also a talented singer, you can only guess what went through Rachel's mind). We got to see more of Artie which was great.

While Foreign Exchange was entertaining it just didn't have the same Glee-feeling as the the first novel. Something was missing and I hope Lowell is aware of that and that the same wonderful feeling is back on paper in the third official Glee novel, Summer Break, when it hits the stores in July this year.

Awesome. I can really get a feel for what it would be like to see/meet foreign exchange students. I would totally love it.

3,5

Glee'yi dizi olarak çok seviyorum, yani Cory öncesini. Ama Glee şarkılarla güzel ve kitaplar o kadar ahım şahım değil.

I finished the first one, and had to continue on. Both books (and then the third) are original stories, and yes, it did feel like reading an episode of Glee. And yes, I am going crazy during the summer hiatus. I am a Gleek, and I love the show - most specifically the pairing of Brittany/Santana - so, these books may be waaaay below my reading level, but they're helping during the horrible time of summer hiatus.

I got this and the first book from the public libary and since I already had it at home I read it eventhough I did not like the first one. Believe it or not, it got even worse.
The characters are dull and do not have the depth they have in the show (and even in the show they do not have the depth they should have. The way Puck was written was a joke, not to speak of the "Cheerios". Stereotypes everywhere. Rachel is annoying, Kurt gay, Mercedes is sassy, Tina shy...good lord we know!!!!
The book had only 2 things I liked. Celeste the french exchange student gave a very good summary of Finn "I can do no wrong" Hudson and Rachel and Puck where on the cover. I give the same advice I gave in my review of the first book: Save your money and buy a good book instead!
