Product Description:

Reading the description of The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry, gave me high expectations about memoirs of a woman who was willing to follow her heart and fulfill a longtime soulful desire. The testimonial from Elizabeth Gilbert only served to heighten my expectation (espcially since which Ms. Flinn's book has been compared to Eat, Pray, Love), as did my love for the French. However, I found the book lacking in soul. Ms. Flinn does a wonderful job of illustrating her daily experiences in an ... Read More

What a fun read. I stumbled on this book and had a thoroughly enjoyable time reading it. How ironic that the cover carries a recommendation from the author of Eat, Pray, Love. Flinn does not make the errors that Gilbert does in reaching too many early conclusions or being that self-righteous. For one, she recognizes how lucky she is to have such an opportunity. Also, she does not play the part of the single woman learning how to live life alone only to wind up in love at the end.

If you dabble in cooking in the kitchen and wonder what it would be like to learn from masters this book is for you. Not only do you get a picture like watching cooking shows on PBS but you also get the recipes. The author has a spirited style in writing and and by the end of the book you really would like to meet her.

What could have been an interesting book about an interesting experience in an interesting city ended up being boring because it lacked in depth and character development. Flinn reports on her experience in a fairly predictable way and in exceptionally short chapters - tell the story of a lesson, pepper it with an anecdote about a classmate, then relate it to a story about the boyfriend or the City. End with a complicated French recipe that no one is ever going to make. The book is a string of these predictable ... Read More
