We used this book for a trip to Umbria with our children ages 9 and 12 and thought it was great, both for the walking and the eating. We have been to Tuscany several times and wanted to branch out to Umbria on this last trip, and can only say we wish we had done so sooner. We stayed in the lovely town of Norcia, and did the "san Eutizio" walk: an amazing adventure with children! Norcia was an easy place to be with kids, the hotel recommended in the book was extremely friendly, the town had such a safe feeling and enough of interest (particularly the gelato bar) to the kids to keep them busy. The walk - one of the longer ones in the book - was an ambitious one for kids, but gave them an exceptional feeling of accomplishment at the end, and they ... Read More:

This is a short book which I got through in one day. The writing style is direct and arresting, and the drama begins on page one. The story which unfolds is of a young man's growing up in East Germany, his passions, ambitions, and plottings. At the start of the story we find him at a party in the US, a few years after the fall of communist régime in Eastern Europe. As the book progresses he recounts a series of incidents from his former life which explain what has brought him to where he is now. I did not realise how literally the reader should understand the title of the book. Each chapter reveals a further treachery. Some forced on the characters by the political system they are forced to live under, but others are ... Read More:

The novel starts off well, very well. I bought the book because of the strength of the first two pages; it had me enthralled. But most of the novel is a bit aimless and dry. It seemed to me that the writer had not really envisioned the story as a unified whole, merely moving the strained plot forward to exhibit his pretty prose and intellectual insights into psychoanalysis. He has talent, no doubt, but this is not the novel to read if you want an satisfying story.
