I enjoyed this book but I have to confess I enjoyed the movie more. Why? Hmmm... I'm not sure but I think because I could actually see the French countryside. I do admit that after seeing the movie I expected the book to be a little more intricate and maybe that's why I give it only 3 stars. But I feel most people would enjoy it if they aren't expecting anything that has a lot of depth-just a cute story. It is a nice easy, fun read and I would not have any problems recommending it to the right people.

This is a book to read. The reader ends up falling in love with Max. He is naive and always wants to learn. Peter Mayle makes life in Provence less boring than it is said. There's a little suspense in the book which makes it more captivating. Max's bestfriend is hilarious. And when Christie comes from California, things really get serious. You will love it. Make you love wine and french cuisine more. Definitely, a book to buy,
