Review - A Time of Gifts

So interesting when concerned with the author's meetings with random people along the way that it kept me reading through the very dull sections on art, history, etc. that were nearly impossible to follow and filled with many words and phrases in foreign languages.

He made it sound like an enjoyable journey, but he didn't make we want to take it with him.
