An easy read but superficial. .A good book for the airplane flight for someone who is going to Italy for the first time. I found the book quite impersonal. The characters of the town are one dimensional. I never got to know much about the author's life and personality either. Mr. Rips is married but hardly ever refers to her. If this is how Mr. Rips related to Italians, he missed the very intimate part of the Italian people. Italy is a very personal experience. Family and friends are the first priority to Italians and expect that to be everyone's priority. Mr. Rips does a very good job of describing the quirks of the locals. Small towns everywhere have their share of "characters", and Italy seems to have more that their share.
