How The World Makes Love: . . . And What It Taught A Jilted Groom (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This book is somewhat of a continuation of "Honeymoon with My Brother." Franz finds a way to continue his travels around the world with his brother, this time to learn about how other parts of the world find love. In between his travels, Franz finds himself drawn to a local actress who he went on a blind date with a while back. I found myself more interested in how this relationship develops and plays out, than in the details of various parts of the world and how they deal with love and relationships. I also found the ending satisfying and thought it was a good conclusion to the two books! (Spoiler alert) As sequel to Franz's first memoir, Honeymoon with my brother, this book displays what it takes for a real man to further explore a world outside of being the jilted groom in the altar. Each country installs a distinction on various approaches or plans of attack to Love and/or to making love; How passion is emanated around the world. Brazil - capitalizing on the confidence to attract and magnetize. India - the value and promise of learned love and earned love, etc. Reading memoirs on travel and adventure is one thing, adding the concept of love and making love certainly increases the fun. the transition from the author's quest for the world's concepts on love, his learnings, realizations, and his attempt on finding his own luck, to finally meeting the right one is absolutely heart warming. Though he didn't meet the one along his quest on various coutries, it was his learnings and maturity that made him realize how the right one has been there all along. --- it certainly answers how humans are as capable to making love work as to making it doomed to eternal damnation.
