It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time: My Adventures in Life and Food
by Moira Hodgson
Disappointing (7/28/2008)
Expecting an interesting combination of food and travel stories, I was quite disappointed in Moira Hodgson's book. Rather than pulling the reader in with interesting characters, she spends too much time in recounting personal encounters with names I didn't recognize. I felt out of step with her stories, but perhaps this book would be a better fit for those growing up in the WWII era.
