I liked the actual story; however, the translated version left a lot to be desired. I almost want to learn French just so I can read the original version.

Easy read but didn't age very well in the sense that the way women are treated in the book would be shocking nowadays.

Georges has a sexy mustache.

All the women fall in love with him at the first sight of his mustache.

Georges is using these women to get in higher places of society and get wealthier and wealthier. Also, Georges is horny for new women but he gets bored quickly, so he jumps from bed to bed.

Georges is a coward. But Georges succeeds in life using his sexy mustache. Marvelous rags to riches story where the mustache should be the main character.

Be like Georges. Kidding. Don't be like Georges!

This book was not my cup of tea. The descriptions are beautiful. I just couldn't get passed characters without morals or redeeming qualities.
