Summary: As The Romans Do
Comment: Alan Epstein takes you in his book on a wonderful and enchanting journey to The Eternal City of Rome. I can relate to Alan and his family. I was in Rome in 1999 and fell deeply in love with this wonderful city and the infatuation hasnt left me ever since.This book is one of the finest about Rome. Alan takes you into the heart of what daily ecnounters are like in Rome. Among the people, the beautiful style of the women of Rome, how the bambini are cherished in Rome, and most of all the wonderful food of this magnificant country. Beware once you read As The Romans Do you will be quickly taken and find yourself rather quickly booking yourself a round way ticket to Rome. Great job Alan! This is for sure my favorite book on my favorite place of Rome. A great tribute to the Eternal City!

Summary: Great overview for curious travelers!
Comment: I actually got 2 great reads out of this book...before and after my semester in Rome. It's has chapters on lots of important aspects to life in Rome as seen through the eyes of an American. And although he paints a lively and beautiful picture of Rome and her people he doesn't fail to include the reality of things...the inefficiency, some of the challenges of everyday life in Rome, etc. I especially enjoyed it because it is snippets of all sorts of topics so that the reader never becomes too bored with one area of Roman life. He isn't pretentious and he really seems to want to inform his readers about Rome, interspersing his writing with Italian words that really are much more beautiful than their English counterparts. It's a great read for before AND after a trip. The first read found me curious to experience life in Rome myself and the second read found me chuckling to myself about the truth of his observations. Great for anyone who wants to reminisce about their time in bella Roma!

Summary: My favorite book about Italy
Comment: Epstein let me vicariously experience the wonder of being an expatriate in Rome. His enthusiasm for his subject, his willingness to be honest (and even intimate with) his reader, and his near-childlike joy at his own wonderful good luck all helped the book succeed for me. I read it before I went to Rome for the first time, and the trip was richer for it.
