Product Description
A Book Sense Pick for May 2005, this is the humorous tale of how the leader stirred— against his will and his better judgment—to Italy with his wife, only to rediscover himself, his marriage, and the importance of getting in touch with his inner Italian.
After years of effective on a string of sitcoms, Phil Doran establish himself on the outside looking in. Just as he and his peers had replaced the older guys when he was coming up the ranks, it was now happening to him. And it was freaking him out. He came home every night mad, burned- out, and exhausted. After twenty-five years of losing her spouse to Hollywood, Doran’s wife chose it was finally time for a change—so on one of her many solo trips to Italy she surprised her spouse by purchasing a broken-down 300-year-ancient farmhouse for them to restore. The Reluctant Tuscan is about the leader’s transition from being a successful but overworked writer-producer in Hollywood to rediscovering himself and his wife while in Italy, and finding happiness in the last place he expected.
In the witty tone that made him a success as a writer in Hollywood, The Reluctant Tuscan captivates persons who simply like a excellent travel narrative as well as anyone who likes the odd humor of Bill Bryson, Dave Barry, and Jerry Seinfeld.

I ordered a new book and received one in poor condition, torn take in, black rub inscription and marker pen across bottom of all pages. There were two vendors’ information on the red tape enclosed with the book so it was confusing as to who was to resolve my problem. I emailed both and received two different sets of instructions and one apology, not from the reliable vendor, TSC Books. I followed TSC instructions re returning the book, they received it on 2/3 but I did not receive a credit on my bill. I emailed them a reminder on 2/21 then received a full credit and an apology.

Pure Hollywood Drivel.
I kept waiting for the canned laughter, and I kept reading because I couldn’t judge a name would give me this book to read.As they say,”You can take the boy out of Hollywood,but you can’t take the Hollywood out of the boy”.
If he billed it as a fictional work, well even then not worth a read.
I wasted 2 hours of my time so you don’t have to waste yours.

What a dreadful piece of tripe. The Italians are all caricatured into stereotypes and it is obvious the leader took fantastic liberties with the truth. The plot is preposterous. (Persons stupid Italians! They couldn’t even tell the difference between a name’s cremated ashes and powered milk!) The coincidences are unbelieveable. (Persons stupid Italians again! They really thought, after seeing a photocopied picture of The Sopranos hanging on the wall that they were related to the leader and got to work on his house because they were worried for their lives.) The writing style is crude. One character is described as going off either to pray or masturbate. If I could give this book no stars I would. In fact I’m not even going to give it away. It goes directly into the trash bin.

This is a fantastic book for all ages. If you are going to Italy its a book with many insides to the population and culture.
Also, lots of humor about these 2 Americans, building a home.
