In France, the simple act of eating bread is an exercise in creative problem solving, and attempting to spell requires a degree of masochism. But that's just how the French like it - and in WTF?!, Olivier Magny reveals the France only the French know. From the latest trends in baby names to the religiously observed division of church and state, prepare yourself for an insider's look at French culture that is surprising, insightful, and chock full of bons mots.

Critic Reviews

"Narrator Graham Halstead gives a top-notch performance.... The nuances of French idiosyncrasies sparkle in this lively listening experience." ( AudioFile)

Overall, will appeal to most francophiles. But as a french speaker, a book about all things french read by a non bi-lingual speaker comes across as quite clunky. Some of the words were quite jarring when mis-pronounced. C'mon guys at least have a french speaker on hand to help with correct pronunciation.
