Completed: Merde Actually by Stephen Clarke

I'm kinda bummed that this is the book that will push me over the 10,000 page mark. I'm pretty proud of that milestone, but this book was only mediocre.

I feel like a lot of the details I could overlook with moderate ease in the first book - the misogyny, the oversexualized everything, the arrogance of the main character - I could not ignore in the context of this book's plot. I found myself hoping I was almost done. I think most of my surprise moments in the book consisted of how willing French women were to sleep with the chauvinist main character. I've known a few French women - and they don't sleep with just anyone!

If there were more books in this series, I would not read them. But this is the last one.
