Title: An American Immersed in Italian culture
Product review: Reviewers who dislike McGinniss' egotistical representation in the book have somehow missed the genius behind the story. Just as the readers do, some characters in the book associate with his funny side, some with his compassion, others with his clumsy side. Like the characters in the book most of us are turned off by McGinniss because of his "greater than thou" stance. As someone who knows no Italian, rather than confuse me, the movement from English to Italian has motvated me to learn more of the language and to visit the country, which is exquisitely described by the author. Overall a good story on how the game takes over peoples lives, and a behind the scenes look at a professional soccer environment; a good read for both soccer and non-soccer loving readers.
