Title: Very funny !!
Product review: This book has no pretension to be a classic but it is very funny. McGinniss manages to involve the reader in the story and the characters, a struggling team of soccer players in a small Italian town who manage to temporarily advance in the national ranking. The depiction of the Italian lifestyle and personalities is very amusing. McGinniss inserts himself in the life of the town and becomes a consultant to the team, even if his advice is not always sollicited. The book loses some of its light-heartedness due to some events in the end (can't give it away) but I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Italy or Italians or soccer.
