"3.5 stars. I enjoy travel reading. A lot. This was a good read. I won't recommend to others really. I enjoy travel reading a lot. I think I said that."
"This is the second book on life in Italy by Parks and explores the daunting task of raising children in Italy, from an Englishman's transplanted perspective. Again, he exhibits wit and uncanny observations, I just didn't identify as much with this plotline as much as his other book. It is still an interesting look into The Way Things Work sometimes in Italy, with regards to child-rearing and all the things that go along with that."
"A fun story about an Englishman who is married to an Italian, raising their kids in Italy. This was an entertaining comparison of what it's like to raise your family in a country different than your own and what general family life might be like in Italy. It made me chuckle. I did feel, though, that towards the end it got a little long. Overall, a fun read."
