Title: Lacked the energy of the real thing!
Review: The book was entirely lacking in juicy anecdotal "grab you by the shorts" storytelling. It focussed too much on an endless parade of minor political figures who were neither interesting or compelling to read about. It actually bored me with it's endless city hall dealings and backroom political machinations. Where were the stories of all the ordinary, yet colourful men and women who painstakingly built the city brick by soot covered brick. Not in this book!
Is the review positive or negative?
