Too Much!

Wow, what a waste of paper this is. This is the memoir of an English-Italian man who establishes a tour company in the Tuscan Hills. And how awful his clients are. This is not the cute cultural-misunderstandings book that one would hope for, it's just a book about of wishy-washy tour guide who seems to have more horrid customers than good ones. And even when he likes his clients the stories are rarely amusing, and the progression of the stories is so bad that I can't believe I read the whole thing. Of course I didn't have a lot of options as I was traveling through Tuscany at the time and this was the only book I had. The writing is so poor, even grammatically atrocious at times, that my husband couldn't even get through the first 3 chapters. And as the author actually grew up in Britain, and he had English speaking assistants to help him with this book, there is no excuse for it. Just another book whipped up to exploit the "Tuscan" craze going on at the time. Stay far away.
