Jeri Dansky reviewed Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M. by Sam Wasson
A must-read form this Audrey Hepburn fan
3 stars
I first saw Breakfast at Tiffany's when I was about 11. I don't know how I made any sense of it, given Holly is a call girl and that wasn't anything I knew anything about. But I became an Audrey Hepburn fan, anyway.
So of course I was going to read this book. Nice light reading. Nothing remarkable.

I really enjoyed this one. And I kept thinking about how the campaign she describes — Sherrod Brown's first senate race, back in 2006 — must differ from his current race.

I started reading this a few years ago and didn't finish for some reason. I've started over at the beginning now — and it's delightful.
Jeri Dansky reviewed Notre-Dame by Agnès Poirier
A mixed bag
3 stars
The first chapter, dealing with the night of the fire, had me in tears as I recalled that night. The following chapters, chronicling Notre Dame's history, were less compelling but did fill in some aspects of French history I'd not known about before.
Jeri Dansky started reading Notre-Dame by Agnès Poirier
I bought this book because I followed the author's tweets the night of the Notre Dame fire. I really liked the first chapter, about the night of the fire — but the following chapters tracing the history of Notre Dame aren't doing much for me so far. Also, the book is poorly bound, which is annoying.
