Title: the worst book I ever wasted time reading
Product review: I can't believe that this book was on our best-seller list in the USA. No wonder the European countries percieve us as unintelligent and mediocre. I am also baffled that this woman, Frances Mayes, is an instructor of creative writing. I felt ill (embarassed for her) when I read the descriptions of the countryside or maybe a description of one on the men working for her. I almost threw the book out the window of the train on the way to Venice, but decided that I paid too much for it in Florence. I also felt that I should at least give the recipes a chance when I got home. Did anyone bother to edit this book? I can not believe the grammatic errors! I can never again, unfortunately, read about the Etruscans and their tombs. It was overkill. However, even though I did not enjoy the book, it gave me the confidence and the reassurance to know that I can do anything and could get some kind of praise or recognition for it.
