Magical Trip to Italia, While Still in the States…

Wondering if better in print
Reviewed: 01-14-21
Fairly monotone Reading and sophomoric dialogue (especially the self-talk) and I found it hard to take someone seriously that ate children’s food of spaghetti pomodoro (with tomatoes) or pizza Margherita EVERY SINGLE MEAL in one of the dining and seafood capitals of the world. I’ve never been a fan of Positano, as too crowded and tacky, but she convinced me to give it more of a try - we spend 2 weeks in Praiano, right up the road, every year (well except this...), and go for the seafood and amazing selection of dishes, but she gradually won me over with our mutual love of the Amalfi Coast and the warm and the wonderful people. And thank God for that boyfriend that finally got her to order off the grown-up menu! Still she convinced me to give other parts of Positano a second chance, along with a few places we hadn’t visited yet, a visit next trip! And she definitely won my admiration for driving the Amalfi Road!

Heart warming
- By Amanda on 12-18-20
Sophomoric & awful dialogue
Reviewed: 12-31-20
Don’t know why I listened to this, but I am determined to finish what I start. Saccharine & obnoxious - no one speaks like this... silly obvious story & almost feel sorry for the actors having to read these nauseating lines... this is the worst review I’ve ever given... and well deserved.

Reviewed: 05-15-19
No practice whatsoever... just rattles off Italian words in rapid fire with no opportunity to practice or memorize. Most of it totally unuseful to travelers - “to wash the windows???” Waste of money.
