This book reminded me of the textbooks we used in university. The writing was uninspired, blant, awful. There were typos, paragraphs where they shouldn't have been and my overall feeling was that it was in desperate need of an editor. I couldn't bring myself to read the last three chapters, I've had enough. Reading about places I have visited and seeing them treated in such a distant, cold way made me furious.
If you enjoy dry, cold writing, give it a try. However, there are many books on the subject
that are much more interesting and written with spirit and panache. This one, though...Even Wikipedia articles are more exciting....Even the dead have more life in them...
