Title: Not Mayle at His Best
Product review: As an avid reader of everything Mr. Mayle's written, the Provence books and novels, I was very disappointed in Encore. There was little depth and warmth to the stories, little of Mr. Mayle's brilliant humor and a general feeling of lack of enthusiasm. The stories are more in the nature of reports than humorous tales. Everyone's entitled to a bad day--I hope Mr. Mayle writes another on par with his earlier Provence works and that he's not running out of steam.
