The Heroic City
Robb seems to expect you to have some idea of History and even some of the French Language so I wouldn't say the book is an easy read, but it is a very entertaining one! His habit of setting a scene without letting you know who you are looking at can be a bit annoying at times. However the stories in here are wickedly fascinating and scandal/gore factor will get even the most upstanding of readers glued to the book like rubber-neckers to a traffic accident. It's intelligent yet throws in a tiny bit of the "Springer Show's" morbid curiosity so the drab bits or descriptions that might go on a bit too long eventually reward the reader for getting through it with a real juicy bit. I'm only 2/5 through the book but already dreading when it comes to an end.
