Title: Not what I was expecting
Review: This book had quite a different focus than I expected. That, combined with some poor editing, left me feeling quite ambivalent about it. My wife and I have been curious about the Paris catacombs, and she gave me this book thinking that there would be some information about them. This is a celebration of graffiti and impromptu art that discusses the art in serious terms, often more than I think it warrants. Although some of the official tunnel creation and consolidation is considered, this is minimal in comparison to revelling in the "kata" (catacomb) art.There are some dumb editing errors in this book. For instance, on page 28 the final sentence on the page ends midway through. Elsewhere there was are misconstructed sentences. This isn't horrible, but it should have been caught by the editor and degrades the work.
Is the review positive or negative?
