Summary: A Sense of Place: land with a story to tell
Comment: The book, A Sense of Place, by Steven Kolpan, tells the story of the Niebaum-Coppola Winery (formally called Inglenook) by combining the history of a piece of land with the personal stories of the people who lived and worked it. I found his book to be well researched as well an inspiration to read. To my surprise the book is not so much about Francis Ford Coppola as it is about the land itself and a vision of a man, Gustave Niebaum. I man I had never heard of until I read this book. This book is a great read. The narrative is dramatic and stories compelling.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Story Worth Your Time
Comment: A Sense of Place is a refreshing story of commitment and passion, demonstrating that sometimes taking risks, having vision and resolute dedication does get rewarded. If the author's reports of Francis Coppola's achievements seem laudatory, it is only because Coppola has accomplished an extraordinary feat. Further, Kolpan's stories of the people that frame the story of this land, such as Rafael Rodriguez, are enchanting. Rodriguez's story of success is one that we hope all immigrants to America can achieve. This is an engrossing book worthy of your time.
Rating: 1
Summary: Pulp Fiction
Comment: As a romantic novel, the book was somewhat entertaining. From a scholarly standpoint, it was very disappointing.
