I really wanted to enjoy the series, they were recommended to me. After giving it the 50 Page test, I just could not get interested in the characters or the story.
Guess I’ll go back to reading ML Longworth or Andrea Camilleri

His ‘challenge’ was cooking dinner WTF?
You have to really be a fan to enjoy this book, unfortunately I’m not a big one, so I didn’t.

I gave it 75 pages and I could not get into that story or the characters.
There’s so many other good mystery riders around I don’t want to waste my time

You can tell it’s early stages of Inspector Montalbano.
Interesting as a backdrop, but does not compare to the other stories.
One of the stories contains an excessive amount of sexual violence that was unsettling.
The last couple of stores were pretty good though.Meh

Another pretty good story that suffers from a weak ending.
This is the second book I’ve read in the series and they both suffer from the same issue.
I enjoyed the character and the writing so I’ll try one more book before moving on.
I would recommend the M.L. Longworth books on Death in Provence. I’ve read the entire series and the only weak book is the one about the missing museum IMHOAnother pretty good story that suffers from a weak ending.

How can you remember things have happened when you were three years old, and in such detail? I assume there was a lot of artistic license in the writing of this book.
I enjoyed watching the avengers on TV and looked forward to reading this autobiography. Sadly, I was quite disappointed at his antics stemming from a life of privilege, albeit a bit bizarre.
With his cavalier attitude towards both jobs and women, along with a nomadic life, he comes across as an entitled brat with a bit of talent.
The last couple of chapters concentrate on his regrets from his first marriage. That, coupled with health problems of his daughter as well as himself, shows a bit of humanity we can all relate to.
Overall though, I was disappointed with him as a man.How can you remember things have happened when you were three years old, and in such detail? I assume there was a lot of artistic license in the writing of this book.

This is just the second book in the series that I have read, and although it was better than the first, the ending still was the weakest part.
Seems like a lot of writers can write a good story but when it comes to wrapping things up they have difficulty. That’s how I would categorize this story.
I’ll give him one more try, But I think that will be the end for me.This is just the second book in the series that I have read, and although it was better than the first, the ending still was the weakest part.

This is the first of this series that I have read. I enjoyed it immensely right up until the last few pages.
I thought the ending was terrible, nevertheless, I will read more from this author.

A bit odd. Not your typical biography, just some miscellaneous ramblings, at times a somewhat poetic dialogue, about her early life with a few photos from years ago.
Maybe that in itself says something about the lady.
Not sure why she took the time to make this book, since it reveals so little. A quest to know her sister?

Not great, but a pretty decent movie. Nice to see Paul playing a flawed character with Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith as youngsters.
This was Jessica Tandy’s last movie, and they dedicated it to her.

This was so - not funny.
I read a couple of other books by Daniel Klein and enjoyed them. This title was talked about a lot, so I thought I would check it out. BIG mistake.
It was a total waste of time. Jokes that aren’t funny, surrounded by mostly boring text.This was so - not funny.

Garbage
I checked this out because it was referenced as a precursor to the current actors strike. Well, perhaps in concept, but it was SO BAD I had to eject the CD
Cartoons are for kids, this was a load of crap.

Not as good as the first book. The plot was a little too drawn out.
This is an interesting series with culinary bits and some interesting characters, but not as good as the series by ML Longworth
