3.0 out of 5 stars Masterfully Researched, February 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Passion for People: The Story of Mary Mahoney and Her Old French House Restaurant (Paperback)

I rated this book 3 stars (rather than 5) because the subject matter is of regional, rather than national, interest. I read the book with great interest because I am a writer too and was astounded (and a little envious) of the painstaking research, including dozens of personal interviews, the author completed. The quality of his research gives this book a wealth of authentic detail.

This review is from: A Passion for People: The Story of Mary Mahoney and Her Old French House Restaurant (Paperback)

Haveing met Mary Mahoney on many occasions, I found this book to be factual and interesting to me. However, if you did know Mary you might feel that she was sort of a flake. She was a woman who love people, life, good food and all things fun. I enjoyed the book and hope that everyone who read it did too. The writing was a little disjointed and in some instances didn't seem to go into enough depth to truely get the feel for Mary Mahoney. Her son is still carrying on her tradition of good food and good fun.

This book brought back memories of my past childhood. I was very excitied to see my father mentioned in the book. I think my cousin has done a wonderful job in the research and writing of this book. I am very proud of him.
