Journal Entry 1 by wing6of8wing from Silver Spring, Maryland USA on Sunday, August 5, 2012
Made a trip to The Book Thing of Baltimore yesterday, ostensibly to get books destined for wild release at the upcoming National Book Festival and Baltimore Book Festival. Ended up picking up a few that are first destined for Mt. TBR and may not be read in time for the festivals. I attended the Book Crossing annual convention in Dublin earlier this year and just fell in love with the country, so anything involving Ireland immediately catches my interest.

A pretty compelling read that kept me going right along, even when the clues didn't make sense to me. I enjoyed the characters, the descriptions of Ireland and Italy, and I even liked the detailed discussion of cuisine. McGarr has a good grasp of human psychology and handles people well. I had to object to 2 things: the use of the "n" word to refer to the one person of color, even if it was true to the conduct of Europeans in the mid 70s (I don't know if it was, but racial discrimination is more overt in Europe by my experience); and, the fact that McGarr seemed to evaluate every female he encountered in terms of what it would be like to having sex with them (that may actually be how many men think all of the time -- wouldn't surprise me -- but it was not really helpful to the plot and lessened my esteem for McGarr).
