Query: A Wasted effort

I ordered this book thinking it would be great for a bit of light reading, but it turned out to be dark and dank,like a Provencal cellar; turning pages and hoping that the next will bring new light. Boy was I wrong!!! This book sucked! I've read many books written by travel writers but this has got to be one of the worst! The authors detail of everything was complete overkill. The characters and places was uninteresting (but could have been had she taken time to develop them). The book is supposed to be about restoring a ruin but the author ruins it by talking about her lack of French, interpreting bill, currency, etc. This is one book that's going to the used book store for a trade in!
