Title: Over-rated, smug and verbose
Product review: I bought this book with great expectations, having read and loved Elizabeth Romer's "Tuscan Year." Mayes' writing, however, is humorless, self-conscious and DULL. This book has been endlessly hyped and I am annoyed with myself for buying it. I'll take Mayle over Mayes any day!
