Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: I have read all of Ms Trigiani's other books, even bought them on tape to listen to in the car. Without any hsesitation I purchased this one. darn!--guess they can't all be winners. :*(That this book took place in the early '70's did not come through clearly. B seemed so stereotypical gay with all his references to detail, color, food, etc, yet Ms Trigiani went to great lengths to make sure he was a hot blooded male. This was a bit schizo and did not work for me. The detailed descriptiions, after a while, seemed like so much filler so I began to skip them. I have not yet met a man who is straight who sees like that and talks like that and emotes like that all the time as B did.I did like the receipes and the family interactions. They were fun, silly and a bit outré. I will wait untilt her next book is published to make any broader conclusions.
Is the review positive or negative?
