reviewed The Restless City: A Short History of New York from Colonial Times to the Present on February 09, 2011
The Restless City
Part high school essay and part dry encyclopedia. Couldn't get past 15 pages.
Could be seriously improved by losing all the sentences that begin, "like the city of new york itself, [such and such person] was both typical and unique [or some other tiresome paradox]." (Again, only read 15 pages, but I swear I read at least 15 sentences like this.)
I really want to read a good history of NYC, though, so I'd appreciate any suggestions for a better book.
