Istanbul: A Tale of Three Cities de Bettany Hughes
Audiobook. Rather wonderful. vast sweep of history is all there even the links between King Arthur's Tintagel and Byzantium. sometimes almost mythical in making the City come alive as personality. Well read, Bettany: she is and did.
I would have given this 5 stars, but I felt like, due to certain things, I could only give it 4 stars.
Bettany Hughes does a very good job in compiling the history of Istanbul, and I enjoyed this book very much.
However, there are some parts of the book where Hughes doesn’t do it so well:
1. She spends a lot of paragraphs on certain things while other things - things that would seem to be equal importance - she only skims over
2. She tends to use a lot of big adjectives
There were a few other things, but these stuck out to me the most throughout the book.
Again, I really loved this book, and I would have given it 5 stars if it weren’t for the two things I mentioned above.… (més)
