The Book of Unholy Mischief: A Novel Audiobook

" Not much in the way of characterization, plot, or description. You fight the good fight, but when you're on p. 120 and still fighting with the rear guard, it's time to retreat and regroup with a new book. "

" I highly recommend this book. The storyline was interesting and I was excited to get back to find out what was going on in the lives of the characters in Venice. "

" You have to listen to the recorded version of the book - the guy does all the foreign accents and brings all these characters to life! I was so drawn into the story because the writing made everything so vivid to me. The book describes the senses - the taste of cheesecake, the aromas of the Rialto, the sight of a beautiful girl, the feel of a warm, purring cat. Beautiful book. "

" I really enjoyed this book! I could have done without so many Italian interjections and the occasional rambling but I LOVED the story and all the characters and the especially the food. I could see myself buying this book just so I could retread it without having to go to the library! "

" Really enjoyed this book - anything set in Venice helps of course but good story and characters too. "

" I really liked this book. It was about a chief and his apprentice and the power of "The Book". Interesting tidbits on food and intrigue . I recommend. "

" Loved the book, it was well thought out... compelling read, there were a couple of areas of repetition, but not so that it was problematic. I thought it was a great book. "

" I'm reading (the book, not audio CD)and will post a review of this yet to be released novel for another internet group: BookBrowse.com "

" Positively rich and enveloping. Delicious and inviting. A riveting read!! "

" an easy read, and fun if you're into food and bashing mainstream religion. "

" Lots of great description about food and cooking and life in Venice in 1485. Otherwise this is similar to a DaVinci Code-style book. "

" A quick, fun read, but the excessive build-up wasn't matched by what was finally revealed. Great writing about cooking/food though. "

" A delightful book for teachers, chefs, and history buffs! Fascinating, hard-to-put-down...my son and I had to take turns reading it, as neither on of us wanted to wait until the other was finished! "

" loved this book. Thought it was very well written and i couldn't put it down because of all the mystery involved. "

" Well-written; a nice depiction of renaissance Venice. Story is a little far-fetched. "

" This book does what the Da Vinci Code tried to do, but achieves it with style, elegance and grace. In praise of food, loyalty and the pursuit of knowledge, it's a magical book. Read it - I guarantee you won't regret a second. "

" Great read! Historical depth and accuracy is brilliant. "

" I really enjoyed this book that my sister, Gloria, recommended. Funny and thought-provoking. "

" At this point , I can't put it down "

" an easy read, and fun if you're into food and bashing mainstream religion. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Loved the Venice component, the cooking and some mishchief. The relationships are well developed and enjoyable. "

" Great read! Historical depth and accuracy is brilliant. "

" If you like a mystery, cooking, historical fiction of Renaissance Italy, you will like this book. "

" It was interesting story, but think it will be forgotten soon. It took me a whole month to read, a little each night because I wasn't excited to pick it up. Has some interesting, and far reaching, ideas about religion. "

" At this point , I can't put it down "

" Good, but not spectacular. Story of Venice (again) and secret ancient books (again) with the novel twist of the Chef for the Doge being the keeper of said book and a street urchin his apprentice. "

" I liked the basic story line but not much else "
