Beginner's Greek: A Novel by James Collins. "I so enjoyed reading this book. It's a modern novel of manners with some satire and fairy tale thrown in, a romantic story nicely told from a male perspective. Peter is enormously likable. The main female character, Holly, was not as well-drawn, but Collins did a good job with secondary characters. (How much did I loathe Dick Montague!?!) All in all, a good summer read."
