- Yes, I think it was his best effort so far. It displayed a maturity that
- his earlier work doesn't have. It wasn't all slapstick. Rather, he tried
- to describe the differences between our cutures with humor, but also with
- grace. I thought it was a great book! As for People Magazine, the only
- time I give it my attention is when I'm having my truck lubed at JiffyLube,
- and I have to waith ten minutes in their waiting room. That's usually
- plenty enough time to catch up on all the Peoples since my prior visit.
