    Again, not as good as his memoirs, but a fun and fast paced suspense novel. It's a light story that moves along very well and still the authors writing style is extremely entertaining.

    • Rated 4 stars

    Although not as good as his memoirs, this is a funny and entertaining novel about Provence (where else?) and is a good, quick read

  • A Year in Provence
    • Rated 5 stars

    If you have any interest in wonderful writing, France, or food you really must read this book. This is a laugh out loud story as most of Peter Mayle's books are. I love every one of this man's books.

  • Marley & Me
    • Rated 4 stars

    This is a wonderful, touching quick read. I read this book in 24 hours and cried like a baby for the last three chapters. The author truly captured the spirit of his dog and having a Weimeraner I can totally relate to the stories of Marley's life. Highly recommended for any dog owner.

    • Rated 3 stars

    This was a tough read, I had to go back and reread some parts because I would get lost. That being said, the overall story is wonderful and I truly enjoyed it.
