Review:
." . .It reads like a fine stroll on a sunny June day through the heart of Paris itself, warm and inviting if not crowded and quirky. And, as one would expect of a gourmand, there are numerous appetizing descriptions of fabulous French meals that make even the most diet-minded reader's mouth water and cholesterol rise. . . . Fans of Bond's 13 previous Pamplemousse adventures will certainly enjoy this book, and first-time readers may want to give it a try -just not on an empty stomach." -- The Bloomsbury Review
