Narration Toward Books One Evening in Paris
Alain Bonnard, the owner of a small art cinema in Paris, is a dyed-in-the-wool nostalgic. In his Cinéma Paradis there are no buckets of popcorn, no XXL coca-colas, no Hollywood blockbusters. Not a good business plan if you want to survive, but Alain holds firm to his principles of quality. He wants to show films that create dreams, and he likes most of the people that come to his cinema. Particularly the enchanting, shy woman in the red coat who turns up every Wednesday in row 17. What could her story be? One evening, Alain plucks up courage and invites the unknown beauty to dinner. The most tender of love stories is just getting under way when something incredible happens: The Cinéma Paradis is going to be the location of Allan Woods' new film Tender Memories of Paris. Solène Avril, the famous American director's favourite actress, has known the cinema since childhood and has got it into her head that she wants the film to be shot there. Alain is totally overwhelmed when he meets her in person. Suddenly, the little cinema and its owner are the focus of public attention, and the red-plush seats are sold out every evening.But the mystery woman Alain has just fallen in love with seems suddenly to have vanished. Is this just coincidence? Alain sets off in search of her and becomes part of a story more delightful than anything the cinema has to offer.

This was a truly delightful novel of romance and happenstance. Set, obviously, in Paris it concerns an unimposing owner of a small, out-of-the-way, artistic cinema and a beautiful and shy woman who suddenly find each other. But, as in all good love stories, love does not flow smoothly and misunderstandings cause difficulties. This is a perfect quick read and, best of all, was the surprise of a list of romance films at the end of the book!This book stays true to Barreau's style. It's a mindnumbing little escape to Paris and a dive into a love stroy where the lovesick guy searches for the girl of his dreams all through the city. And that about sums up the whole story beautifully. The wow factor inthe story is Paris. The city comes to life through Alain's escapades. Paris is always magical, enchanting and Barreau captures this magic so well. The smells, the sights, the feelings of the city leaps off the pages. It's worth reading
The book actually really disappointed me, because I was looking forward to reading it so much. I fell in love with the beautiful cover and the hot, young, french author and decided that I was going to like the story, because what could possibly go wrong with a nice, fluffy litte old fashioned romance in Paris (my favourite city of all times)? Well, a lot apparently. First of all, I didn't like the main character. Which isn't that bad, since literature isn't about pleasing each and every reader

Probably 2.5 actually. The story was reasonably interesting but the style of writing certainly didn't keep me keen to read nad I found myself skim reading much of it just to complete and see the outcome.
I'll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of romantic comedies, despite my love of romance novels. This book seems tailor made for lovers of the fare, but despite that, it was a pleasant read for me. I think I liked the French perspective through the eyes of a surprisingly romantic man who shares a love of movies with me.

Oh, boy...What is this PINK story...?
First time I saw this on the shelf at the library, it was one of the many suggestions on display. And of course the cover caught my eye, the title and the summary. I mean, that cover is just so simple and yet beautiful to look back, with the colors surrounding the background of Paris, the bridge, the mysterious girl in the red coat, etc. Hadn't heard anything about the book but had gotten one too many books and so didn't get it. Then when I went back to the library I finally got the book and
