reviewed The Italians on
I enjoyed this book very much! I know very little about the Italians except for their love of pasta, they have or had the mob! This book taught me so much about the country, the peoples --- and I have NEVER had so much fun reading a history book! It made me smile, chuckle and I now know more then I probably will ever need about Italy and it's people --- but was a pure joy to read!

It school history had been half as much fun we'd all be a lot smarter!
