What a strangely paced book. Far too dull in the beginning, leading to a very rushed ending that resolved nothing. Do we ever get to see the bad characters get their comeuppance, or the good characters get the rewards of their efforts? Not at all. This one had a lot of potential to be extremely satisfying at the ending, but it's almost as if a final chapter was shaved off in the editing process.

Not to mention the dreadful way that this author writes women. They are all either spoiled brats, pretentious and overly-glib one dimensional manhattanite bitches, or the desired object of the main character Andre.

The one thing I will say for this book is that the author can paint a beautiful picture of food and France.

This book left me hungry for food I can't afford and for revenge the main characters never get. Ugh!
