It is a light read, so take it as such. I found it quite superficial and not particularly entertaining either, but I did read it all - and I didn't have higher expectations so I was fine with it. The part about Italy especially (note: I'm Italian) is full of stereotypes and crass generalisations that the author would be forgiven to apply if she wasn't a regular traveller and writer by profession, so on that I'd expected a bit more.
