How the World Makes Love: And What It Taught a Jilted Groom

I picked up this book after hearing Franz discuss it during an interview with Gayle King. I had to go get it. I am about to get married and thought this would be good summer reading. Being from L.A., I enjoyed the regional references. But, the best part was the end. All single mothers (which I am) and others will appreciate this sweet story and smart writing. Waiting for the next book!

Far more than a travel book, but it is; far more than how people in countries around the world make love, but it is; far more than a book filled with humor, but it is. If you're a single mom without a partner, this may be a book for you. If you're thinking of dating a single mom, this is a book for you. If you just want a tender, funny, great read...and learn a little about several countries and how they think about love and choosing a spouse, this is THE book for you. Franz's voice is consistent throughout the book...and, for me, it's a very familiar voice, for in the interest of transparency, I must confess, I've known his parents for nearly forty years...and there's a little bit of each of them in this book.

Most authors never write a second book let a lone a potential second bestseller. Wisner broke the sophomoric blues and followed through with a gem. Nice guys do sometime win. Wisner had been jilted at the altar but somehow made the best of his situation and found happiness. He set out with his brother again to discover how the rest of the globe makes love. He's now married with a young son and became a better observer and writer. Go get this book, read it and share it!

I was not sure what to expect when i picked up Wisner's first book but then I could not put it down. An exceptional writing style. So I was excited to hear that he was coming out with a second. The new book, How The World Makes Love did not disappoint. It is a heart felt journey and one we can all relate even if we do not leave our hometown. How do we find love and how do we define the love we are looking for and how do we define the love we have? Wisner helps us get there. Wisner gives us a new perspective -- in fact many new perspectives from India to Africa to Eastern Europe to his own life. Kudos.

For everyone who read Honeymoon With My Brother, this is a must-read. It is more moving, more thoughtful, and even funnier than the first book. I loved it.
