Title: Should please high schoolers.
Review: Anyone older than that will be put off by this simplistic bit of fluff. The author has pieced together quotes and statistics from other sources and throws them around liberally. It has the feel of a high school writing project. The advice she gives reads like something out of an article in "Seventeen Magazine". For example, here are some of her tips for cultivating friends, Italian style:1)Spend the time it takes to cultivate new friends.2)Go beyond the superficial to create intimacy.3)Practice giving and receiving affection.4)Be willing to listen.5)Show loyalty in your words and actions.I bet you never would have thought of those things on your own, right?Well, pay the $15.00 for this book and you can read 205 more pages full of equally valuable "Italian" advice.Buy it for a teen, or better yet, save your money.
