David Gross is working as a corporate lawyer in New York when he gets a call from a friend inviting him to move to Bologna to help turn around a legendary Italian motorcycle company, known for its dominance on the track and its inability to turn a profit. Off he heads to the fabled home of marbled meats, radical leftist politics, and bespoke shoes, diving into his new life as the "corporate image consultant" to gearheads while learning to navigate the giddy mores of Bolognese society.

Not so great.
Revisado: 07-12-12
Just plain old not-so-great.... It seemed pretty negative, but it is a memoir so I suppose he's just telling it how he sees it. However the book was a far cry from the editor's summary and not what I expected.

Highly Over-Rated!!!!
Revisado: 04-20-12
What was most disappointing about Ann Voskamp’s story?
Over-dramatic and complete opposite of finding happiness in SIMPLE living.
What didn’t you like about Ann Voskamp’s performance?
No good.... her voice alone is pretty irritating honestly, with a side dish of bad actress.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I picked up a good or mildly enlightening point every 45 minutes (if that often). "Gift List" is a great idea and I will likely do it, however the story is unnerving when she spends an insane amount of words to, for example, add soap bubbles to the "gift" list. She dramatically describes the miracle bubbles for 30+ minutes, while barely mentioning her children playing in the yard.... I think she missed the boat.
Any additional comments?
NOT a live-changing book. The publisher's summary blows Voskamp's writing away and sets the potential reader up for great disappointment.
