This is definitely my kind of book - historic fiction, set in Renaissance Venice, main character is a chef's apprentice, lots of food discussions, what was there not to like? The book also has an exciting plot, centering around a 'book' that tells the secrets of Christianity and what REALLY happened...
This is one of those books that left me feeling lukewarm. Nice descriptions of Venice, the food and the culture of the people who lived during the Renaissance but the writing and the plot left much to be desired. The writing was just to juvenile for my taste it read to much like a children's book. P...
This book is not going to happen for me. If I had more than one day off, I would give it more of a try, but as it is... no. :(
