Your Table Is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D'
by Michael Cecchi-Azzolina (Goodreads Author) |
|
| This book was recommended to me, and frankly, that's the only reason I finished it. It's a recounting of the author's escapades in the wild 70's and 80's, that would better have been done as an article in New York Magazine. It recalls an endless stre ...more | |

| This was 3 1/2 stars, really, because Patchett's writing is always so beautiful. It's just that in comparison to some of her other fantastic books - like The Magician's Assistant, or Bel Canto - this one feels like weak sauce to some extent. I mean, ...more | |

| I had pretty mixed feelings about this. The science was terrific, and the plot a compelling page turner. But the dialogue and characterization just sucked. The hero - a high school teacher - was one dimensional and spoke and thought like someone arre ...more | |

| I'm frankly baffled why this book is so popular. I found its characters paper thin. Everyone was nice - so nice there was no conflict. Sweet old man gives people gifts, and they accept tenderly and lovingly, and everyone is happy. The dialogue was mo ...more | |

| This was a masterful Western novel, not quite as epic as Lonesome Dove, yet more than a simple coming of age adventure. It shares themes and plot development with other greats, such a Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Moby Dick, and Heart of Darkness, as ...more | |

| In this 1200 page book, I thought there was a great 850 page Western novel. The characters were engaging, the plot twists exciting, the long action sequences compelling, the voices unique, I loved everything about it... except what felt like reaching ...more | |

“Doctor Jones, we're all vulnerable to vicious rumors. I seem to remember that in Honduras you were accused of being a grave robber rather than an archaeologist.
