Title: Don't Be Reluctant to Read This Book
Review: After having read a cumbersome book (A Year In The World), I was ready for an easy read. The Reluctant Tuscan was an excellent choice - but don't be fooled by the light reading part. Having lived in another country for two years, I know that Americans tend to bring their "Americaness" wherever they go. Rather than being annoyed by Doran's impatience and at times, ignorance, of the Italian culture, I was rather amused. It brought back memories of being in Asia as a child looking for McDonald's (obviously a while ago) and wondering why eveything was so different - when I was the different one! The next time I travel abroad, I will remember how uptight Doran was and how he almost made an exciting life-changing adventure a miserable nightmare. He reminds me that life is a wonderful adventure!
