Title: Nice prose -- but there's no story
Review: My title says it all. Great writing. Clever dialogue. Nice descriptions of Venice. But there's no story in this book. Nothing to pull you forward other than a lukewarm "leitmotif" about the theater fire. Starkly different from "Midnight" because that book had a strong story that kept you turning pages -- with pleasure. When a movie bombs you tell friends, "Wait to see the DVD." As for The City of Falling Angels, wait to check it out of the library.
