Query: Pleasant but overrated

This little book became a surprise hit--I can see why. It has charm, a certain wistful feel. Still, there is in fact precious little it has to say, and some of the chapters are simply tedious. I wish I could care about the child and the park ...The little set pieces offer relatively few insights on France, although they are well written. It sometimes seems like the obligatory "I was there, now read this....!" book. Nonetheless, it is a good beach read--but not deserving of its fame. It has none of the flair of Peter Mayle, for instance.
