I read the reviews of others on this book and quite frankly, I cannot understand some of the very mean spirited ones and some of the even more mean spirited comments to them.

While this book is not Jane Austen, it is still a delightful book. I found it to be a very easy and breazy read. It was short and SWEET(pun intended). This book is filled with detailed descriptions of desserts and the stores they came from. I found myself going online to look up many of the places and desserts while reading Paris My Sweet. I also started craving many of the sweets. I have taken cooking lessons in New York and loved it! Now I would love to take cooking classes in Paris too.

Amy Thomas loves New York City as much as she does Paris. I love New York City too. I do not live there anymore, but I totally understand how Amy feels about New York. I think it is one of the greatest cultural centers in America. There is always something going on, things to do, places to go and great places to eat. I appreciate the comparisions of the two cities in the book. I appreciate Amy Thomas's honesty about the people in France and how she felt very lonely at times because of it. It is not something that I haven't heard before. Never the less Amy Thomas was still able to enjoy the country she fell in love with as a college student. Miss Thomas made me want to get on a plane straight away and head for France.

One of the reasons I enjoyed Paris My Sweet is because Amy Thomas did something that I have dreamed about doing since I was a teenager. I admire any woman who moves to another country by herself leaving her family and friends behind. It can be scary, but mostly I see it as a wonderful adventure. I did not think the author should have been upset because her friends were getting married and having babies. Moving to France to live and work is equally exciting. Not to mention all the trips you can make to other Eurpoean countries while you are living in France. I would be happy about my friends getting married and having children, and even happier about me living in France. And if things did not turn out as expected in France I would have explored another country over there to move to. Maybe Miss Thomas would have found love and romance in England? Spain? Switzerland? Italy?

I would love to get an update on Amy Thomas now. Does she have a boyfriend now? Would she move to Paris for good?

It was a pleasure for me to review this book on my blog. The only books that I reveiw on my blog are the ones I like.

Amy Thomas, thank you very much for writing this book. I appreciate it even if some people didn't. I think a lot of people do appreciate it as much as I do. Please give us an update on how your life is going now Miss Thomas.

Paris My Sweet A Year in the City of Light and Dark Chocolate Amy Thomas 9781402264115 Books Reviews

I felt like I gained 20 pounds just reading it. It has a lot of good tips and experiences on eating in Paris, but it also
includes a lot about New York City, which was ok with me. I only cared about the food experiences, the rest was skimmable, but
she moved fast so it wasn't a problem.
Amy Thomas obsessed with sweets. Cookies, cupcakes, chocolates, Madeline's, macaroons, French toast, you name it. She documents her 2 years of living in Paris with the amazing, splendid things she ate while there. A really fun, fast, amusing read. But prepare to feel hunger and salivate like Pavlov's puppies at every chapter.
Francophile that I am, and having spent untold wonderful times in Paris, I still found much to enjoy in this book. I always keep a list (on my phone) of new places to go/see the next time I'm there, and was able to add quite a few places to that list from her well-written, yummy sounding descriptions. In fact, I stopped reading frequently to look places up...then found the list at the end of the book! (My bad -- should have looked at the table of contents!)

But there's the other side...the whining, spoiled child. There was enough good information offered that I plugged my way on through, but my overall ennui with her disagreeable nature brought my rating way, way down. I kept waiting & hoping for her to actually grow from the experience & share what she had learned.
Delightful account of a year in Paris, complete with recommended purveyors of all things sweet in Paris and New York City. The author brings us along as she takes advantage of an opportunity of a lifetime, weaving together her former life in New York with her new life in Paris. I was completely charmed.
The idea here is awesome! Get sent off to Paris by your work to live and enjoy all that lovely Frenchness. But I found Ms. Thomas's memoir a little tedious and verbose at times and thus could not give it more than 3 stars...probably deserved less, but I'm trying to be generous here. It's a quick read and there are some redeeming qualities, but I've read better memoirs of living in France than this one.
This book was a breath of fresh air from a writer who shared her growth experience of working in Paris for two years while back in New York all of her peers were marrying, settling down, and having babies. I can certainly relate to her wanderlust, and when you couple it with the exhaustive research she did sampling sweets from one quartier to the next throughout Paris, there's just no beating this obvious confection of a book. So happy to have shared this writer's experiences in the City of Light and Dark Chocolate!
I've never been to Paris, but it didn't matter ... I could envision the scenes and places vividly. When she talked about bread and 'boulangeries'- I searched for a boulangerie in my area in Gauteng, South Africa. I found this French Patisserie, drove 30 km and bought a sourdough bread. It was deeeelicious!!! I'm a big sweet tooth person ... so all this talk of truffles, macaroons, cupcakes ... it had my salivated!!!! I then searched for a chocolatier in my area, found one and bought 4 different truffle chocolates. And ate them all! This is really a fabulous book and I absolutely adored it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
