As a fan of Roland Merullo, I was a little disappointed in this book. It is an enjoyable read but not up to his previous works. As a golfer, I appreciated the details and episodes on the course but could not recommend it to my wife. His voice is still clear and the descriptions of people and places are enjoyable and distinctive as always. However, it did not grab me and make the book impossible to put down.

I bought this book on my sister's recommendation. It seemed to be the perfect book for me. I am an avid golfer. I have Italian roots. I have traveled to Italy with my family and I love to cook and eat Italian food. In spite of all those connections, I found myself wondering if someone without my background would enjoy it. I found it a good vacation read. The golf stories are plentiful and well written and they will evoke many memories for the avid golfer. His writing is enjoyable to read as he describes the people and places in and around Lake Como.
Unfortunately I don't think the book will be as enjoyable to the average reader as it was to me.
