Title: What a delusion!!!
Review: Although Epstein has lived in Rome for years, I think he actually doesn't really understand and know much of this city; his assertions are full of imprecisions, stereotypes and commonplaces. His insights are trivial and most of the times far from the actual facts; his knowledge of italian society is faulty (at least) and sometimes rather absurd: supermarkets that don't change money and other fantasies prove that Epstein don't know much of this city. I bought this book full of hopes and enthusiasm but in the end I was really disappointed by it. As a roman (a really one, not a pretended one as Epstein) who lives in Rome I found the book and his author quite annoying.Alessandro Cantonetti
