Second-timer for the irreverent guide

I bought the Irreverent Guide to London when I traveled to Britain two years ago, and I had such a good experience with that book that I bought this one for my upcoming trip to Paris. I have also read Fodor's and have done extensive research online, but I like the irreverent book because it's small, informative, and opinionated. I don't need another sixty pages listing the museums in France. What I need is for someone knowledgable to tell me which museums are worth the time and which ones aren't

On my first time in Paris

My husband and I were on our honeymoon with the Irreverent Guide and the Eyewitness guide, and found that we were using the Irreverent almost exclusively - the honesty, humor, and efficient and informative writing style appealed to me, and the clear rating system for hotels, restaurants, sights, and shopping were relevant and extremely helpful. We were led to the Paris we saw in films while being informed of the realities of the city (such as knowing to eat in that window of time you have available for breakfast, lunch and dinner). For those of you who prefer this sort of thing, we were rarely surrounded by other American tourists when following this guidebook (except, of course, for those obvious sites; the Eiffel tower, for one), and went to those restaurants that might not make it in the bigger guides (note; everywhere we went that was suggested in the Irreverent guide had fabulous food). This was the best twelve bucks I spent in preparation for our trip then and for the trip I'm planning for next year.

Irreverent but relevant

Bought it at Half Price Books and well worth the price. Lots of suggestions on hotels and restaurants in various price ranges. Good tips on getting around. Good alternative or companion to R. Steves guide.
