2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-24-2009; Sense and nonsense; There are some wonderful sections in this, especially the early part when the narrator is young and struggling with sleep, wanting his mother. The part about Tilia leaf tea is another high point. But mostly it seems to be overwritten,...; read full review | report as inappropriate
