review 1: Nice is Just a Place in France is a hilarious book, as long as you take the contents with a grain of salt. Every page teaches you (in a very satirical and unrealistic way) new methods and rules by which you should shape your life, in order to "win at basically everything." The authors preface this book by exclaiming that it should not fall under the self-help category, but in reality, that is exactly what it is. They explain that they aren't trying to teach people to be happy, but instead trying to empower woman by showing them how they can manipulate everyone and everything that stands in their way of being number one.
review 2: Ok so the people who posted indignant reviews of this book clearly failed to see how obviously tongue-in-cheek this book is. Hello, t... morehe authors call themselves "The Betches"! I really enjoyed it - silly, sure, but laugh-out-loud funny. One of my favorite parts is from the chapter on college: On girls who choose to study abroad in Paris: "You like fashion and art and took French in high school. You'll learn throughout your semester in Paris that French people really fucking hate Americans and will do whatever possible to ensure that you have a miserable time in their city and never want to come back. If you aren't busy fighting off pickpockets while your garc,on refuses to serve you iced coffee ('I'm afraid zat is impossible. Le ice is out of season!'), you're probably sitting in a cab with a driver who's purposely running up the meter by giving you a scenic tour of twenty-five extra arrondissements."On gypsies in Europe: "Gypsies: Oh man, they're everywhere. Whether they're interrupting your outdoor meal to sell you a fucking leaf, or they're hurling their baby at you so you'll drop your purse and they can steal it, there's only one way to stop these crazy nomads. And that is by demanding that they give you their tears." All in all, a ridiculous but fun read. less
