Reseñas

Excruciating Formality


(3 estrellas)

For all the people who think that 'etiquette' was invented by rich people with too much time on their hands, this book is for you. The author, who is from Paris, prescribes the most tedious set of rules for afternoon calls, and the wedding customs are completely French. It makes me tired.

Absolutely Hilarious


(5 estrellas)

A delightful dry humor, punctuated by the narrator's delivery.

Jolie O'Dell is an excellent reader
