review 1: "The French for Love" is a nice light read. I just finished it while lounging on the beach.Gina lives in England and is experiencing challenges with her love life and career. She suddenly inherits a house in France from her Aunt Liz who passes away. She decides to go to France to see the house and the experience of spending time there is life changing for her. Gina is in the wine business and she is studying wine in France. Some things I especially enjoyed: - I liked the author's description of small town French family life and culture,- I very much enjoyed the use of French words interpersed in the text which added to the "feel" of reading a story set in France, - I enjoyed reading about the wine business. The main character Gina is studying wine from the ground up - ... morepicking grapes, processing the wine, learning the wine business in France.I think the following kinds of people might enjoy this book:If you've been to France and loved it or long to go.If you would enjoy a light introduction to the wine business in France.If you like light love stories.My only criticism is that the story was a little predictable. There were not too many twists and turns. That being said, it was a nice light read - I enjoyed it as a beach read.
review 2: I rate this book 2/5 stars. It is a very slow read and only picks up the last quarter of the book where, I felt, it went too fast. I found myself losing interest many times and just ended up putting the book down and doing something else for a few hours. At times I felt like I had to force myself to finish the book. I was also a bit disappointed at how predictable the book was. But that's normally the case with books of this genre.I would only recommend this book if someone was looking for a lazy beach read. less
