review 1: I expected more of a travel book... The author spoke of his adaptations to living in Italy, in everything from getting a drivers license to a marriage license, which at times were both enlightening and humorous with the exasperating situations described in detail. Some of his "personal reflections" were in the form of "too much information, however - as such the book read more like a "first draft" than a final one.
review 2: For an English class I had to choose from a list of books for a presentation and I am glad i decided on this one. Sitting on my balcony on a rainy day, reading about sun, sea and spaghetti made me want to pack my suitcases. Mr Harrison talks about the first two years he spent in Italy. He talks about, for example, the carabinieri, traditi... moreons, traffic, Italy's skill to make an conversation entrily with gesture and of course- the food, and describes these aspects in an honest, true and most of all hilarious way. I have never laughed so much while reading a book. Five stars, I absolutely loved it. less
