Book Reviews of A Good Year
Book Review: A fun way to soak up the Provencal life!
Summary: 3 Stars
Peter Mayle's latest novel is charming and light-hearted and makes for the perfect beach read! His witty prose and colorful characters surely capture the attention of the reader even though the plot is somewhat underdeveloped. The many facets of Provencal life, however, are as delectable as ever, which is likely why Mayle continues to captivate his readers. So pick up a copy of this pleasing little novel, pour yourself a spot of pastis, and indulge your senses in a little of that good Provencal living!Book Review: Light and fluffy, needs more wine
Summary: 3 Stars
A British man in a dead-end job in London gets fired and, on the same day, inherits a vineyard in Provence--that is the premise for this light novel. It was entertaining enough, but a trifle fluffy for my tastes I wish more of the narrative had been spent on wine and food, and less on silly conspiratorial plots and even sillier romances.Book Review: A Good Book
Summary: 3 Stars
After seeing the movie, I wanted to read the book. Peter Mayle paints a beautiful picture of the Provence region of France. The book is very different from the movie and if you've seen the movie, you'll be surprised at how different it is. Max in the book is much more of a nice guy than Russell's Max. Definitely worth buying.
