1.0 out of 5 stars Annoying writing style, November 1, 2006

This review is from: The Pizza Gourmet (Paperback)

To be fair, I haven't tried any of the recipes in this book, although I have copied one for Italian Ice that looks good. But the book is going in the "to the used bookstore" pile because the writing style is just annoyingly juvenile. Chatty, breezy books are one thing, but this book just grates on me. Every other sentence starts with, "OK" or "Well, ..." I love books, and I have many books on pizza, but this is one I don't even want in my house.
