Description
Andrew and Bruce live in a vintage VW camper, running from the law in pursuit of their lifelong dream: to move to Paris as a chef and a poet. But their not-so-haute cuisine and poetry are as fauxed-up as their French, which they learn from a cassette tape of insults. All they need is one last scam to make their dreams come true...
So when they meet Charlotte, a blind girl with a penchant for pills, they’re sure she’s the easy mark who will get them to easy street. But the merde hits the fan when they find out this femme fatale has plans of her own.

Confrontational French by Johnny Effing Lucas tells the story of two friends, Bruce and Andrew, who become con-men in order to gain enough money to travel to France to become a famous poet and chef.
Traveling the country eating roadkill and practicing odd French phrases this book is humorous and strange at the same time. It has a good message at the end as well.
This book was definitely different. I'm not sure what to think. I do feel that it would be good for a laugh or if you want to learn odd French.
I acknowledge that I received this book free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

A very humor filled escapade with two con men that completely butcher the French language! This might have been a book that I might have missed on the store shelves, but I am so glad that I discovered it on NetGalley. It was a truly enjoyable read.
Reach out and read this book! Especially when you're in need of a good laugh!
