Title: Not what you've been waiting for--but if addicted...
Product review: unlike the other reviewer, I'm *not* in Provence, and enjoyed "A Year in," and "Tourjours," tremendously. When I saw this title listed a few months ago, I pre-ordered a copy and when it arrived last week I settled down to pick up where I left off last time. However, this book seems to be written at a distance--actually, I found it hard to really understand just how the Mayles returned (for a visit, to live, what?) I'd describe this book as a cross between the first two and his collection of essays, "Acquired Tastes." The chapters don't hang together, his style overrides the content--I don't feel immersed in Provence but instead find his writing and opinions the stronger 'voice.' Perhaps his subject matter didn't connect with me; I'm not sure. I wish I'd waited to read reviewer comments *before* ordering the book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
