Title: Worth reading if you know Budapest, otherwise...?
Review: If you ever lived in Budapest, this is worth a read. I must admit that I was hesitant to pick it up, worried that it would be just a self-centered diary of an ex-pat. But there really is a decent story there. It's also fun to read about the places that you know so well in the city. But I think Phillips also does a good job of bringing Hungarian history to life, and showing how it's still a part of the present. The novel is not just about North Americans in search of adventure. It's also about Hungary as a nation (okay, with North Americans superimposed upon it). If you don't know Budapest or maybe some of the other ex-pat hang-outs in the region, you may not enjoy it.
