    Paris Hours
    The things I liked about this book:
    1. The WRITING! There wasn't a single word that was too much or too little.
    2. The characters - the 3 main male characters were very believable and my empathy and understanding came pretty naturally.
    3. The story was good. Not a "page turner", but it was interesting enough to keep reading. Maybe I should say "stories". There were 4 main characters and they each had their own individual story. I loved Jean-Paul!

    The things I didn't like so much:
    1. Camille - she was the 4th main character...and I felt she was a bit "off".
    2. Using the famous people as a back ground seemed superficial or something. But I did look up Josephine Baker to learn more about her.

Beyond the Book:
  Gertrude Stein (1874-1946)
