Title: As Mayes would put it, noioso (boring)
Product review: I hoped this book would be beautifully written, a quick but satisfying read. When you're writing about Italy, where can you go wrong? Well, Mayes showed me exactly how you can turn an interesting life story into a boring, monotonous book that won't end - just like those summer days in Tuscany. I also thought that Mayes' descriptions of the Italian culture were sometimes condescending. Oh, those quirky Italians with their weird manners, tiny fridges and no sense of time! Speaking of fridges, why are there two long chapters devoted solely to recipes? Not much happens in the other chapters, either.Italy deserves to be described by a better writer.
