review 1: One Evening in Paris tells the tale of not just one love story, but two–no, make that three.The first is that of the love of between a man and a woman, whose story unfolds tenderly and at a gentle clip. The second is that of a movie-lover for the cinema and is told primarily from the perspective of Alain, a man who gave up a promising career in order to return to his first love, the old-fashioned movie theatre once owned by his favorite uncle. The third is that of a Parisian for Paris, and in this novel, the author invites us all to share in his fascination with her charm and beauty. Certainly not a bad place to set a love story, either.This light and airy novel can easily be read in a weekend (I did). It’s sweet and uncomplicated, but for all that is has going for it... more, it didn’t completely capture me. Perhaps, for my taste, it was rather too much like a Woody Allen movie. (You’ll note the obvious reference to him in the book–the director named Allan Wood.) I’ve never been a particular fan, although I did enjoy Midnight in Paris. Nonetheless, I thought the best part of this novel was that, unlike so many romances, this one is written by a man and from a man’s point of view. I like what this perspective brings to a love story. Which, for many romance lovers, will make this novel worth at least a try.Thanks to St. Martin’s Griffin for providing me a free copy to review. All opinions are mine.
review 2: Започнах книгата с големи очаквания, но се разочаровах малко от липсата на последователност в историята. Края отново беше неочакван, но цялата история вървеше мудно и с много скокове напред и назад във времето, като това малко нарушаваше удоволствието от историята - като мини трейлъри по средата на филм. Описаните на Париж още веднъж е добре направено, а образите са добре описани. less
