Hector Et Les Secrets De L'amour (2008) - Plot & Excerpts

While Francois Lelord's first Hector book, Hector and the Search for Happiness was one of the best (new) books I've read in a long time, Hector and the Secrets of Love disappointed. The charming qualities that kept me laughing in Search for Happiness were missing from Search for Love. I found myself having to push myself to finish the book. I kept hoping that something redeeming would happen, but alas I found myself happy that the book had finally come to a close. Hector once again travels the world, this time in search of the meaning of love. This time, Hector is hired as a consultant by the CEO of a large pharmaceutical company, and soon finds that his girlfriend is having an affair with the CEO. Oops. He has been hired to find a psychologist who invented a love drug for the company, but who has absconded with his research. Along the way Hector keeps running into a personable but shady character with a great many skills most likely learned in the secret service. It's all a good deal of fun.
