Title: Self-Absorbed Twaddle-No Peter Mayle!
Product review: I have read a lot of the "lets move to a foreign country and buy a house and live in it" books over the years, and this one is by far the worst of the bunch. Indeed, about half way through I just put the book down and could not finish it...it is just that bad.A lot of the other reviewers who did not like this book have summarized quite well the points which also strike a chord with me, so all I can say is if you want a good book about country life in Italy, get "Extra Virgin" and have a good time reading the book and at least you can identify with the writer, and actually learn something rather than be slathered with pretentious musings. I for one am not interested in someone who is so self-absorbed. Most persons who have typical jobs and responsibilities and budgets to manage just have a hard time identifying with this author.
