About this listen

In France, the simple act of eating bread is an exercise in creative problem solving, and attempting to spell requires a degree of masochism. But that's just how the French like it - and in WTF?!, Olivier Magny reveals the France only the French know. From the latest trends in baby names to the religiously observed division of church and state, prepare yourself for an insider's look at French culture that is surprising, insightful, and chock full of bons mots.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Graham Halstead gives a top-notch performance.... The nuances of French idiosyncrasies sparkle in this lively listening experience." ( AudioFile)

Most relevant

The book starts as a light-hearted and somewhat funny commentary on French society and culture but slowly turns into a bitter and angry rant. Very disappointing.

An angry rant.

The premise of WTF?! is excellent, however, the execution of the book soon moves away from a light hearted and informative celebration of France and the French and becomes a disappointing diatribe towards the country and it's inhabitants. The author's jaundiced views are prompted by his clearly distorted, inaccurate and highly politicised (American right wing Christian) opinions. The France and the French that Magny describes are not the France nor the French that I know and love.

A diatribe against France and the French
