As a British expat living in France this was a very interesting book to read, giving me insights into both American and French parenting. I learned a few things I'll definitely be trying and I'm sure it will help me avoid some questions or concerns I may have had later.  Some of the advice and information should be taken with a pinch of salt since the author is not an expert themselves and it’s more a journalistic piece with their own experiences thrown in. Gonzo journalism I guess but very different to Hunter S Thompson.

The book itself seems well researched and strikes a nice balance between expert opinion and anecdotal evidence liberally peppered with humor. The writing is easy to read and flows very nicely. As with all non fiction books I find there's a certain amount of repetition, but this is not the worst offender i’ve read by a long way. An enjoyable informative read which i’d recommend to new / soon-to-be parents especially if living in France.
