Title: Well written, but not inspiring or fantastic
Product review: The book is simply boring. It is well written, but boring. I ended up exchanging it after about thirty pages - I should have read this much before leaving the bookstore. I live in Lucca some 4 months a year and although this is "old hat" to me, I feel the writer, although competent, lacks the insight of what makes Italy and Italians "tick," and this shows on the pages. Italians are special because of, and for, many reasons - it is too bad this writer cannot express them. In the time it would take you to quickly skim through this troubled book, you could slowly enjoy three cups of coffee in a run down Italian café and soak up a greater feel for "Italy."
