Title: A Rambling and Essentially Dull Look at Venice
Review: Having visited Venice many times, and being a lover of the City I was most disappointed after reading this book. Born and raised in Venice, the author returns to live there once again, after being absent for many years. The book contains his desultory ruminations on Venice as he wanders it's labyrinth streets. This is not Venice from the perspective of culture or history. It is a native's view of La Serenissima and how time and tourism has changed it. I found the writing amorphous and not terribly interesting. It's difficult to make this City of paradoxes dull, but the author has succeeded in doing so.
