    City of fallen angels

    Fast delivery. Book is good but not as good as 'midnight in the garden of good and evil'.

    a good history of Venice and it's Venetians...

    Reads like a travelog and people really aren't too interesting...was looking for a plot. The Ratman was a disgusting story. Took awhile to get into the book.

    the city of falling angels

    I loved Venice when I was there. This book is about the city and its society. Apparently it is similiar to Midnight in the garden of good and evil in its feel I liked the book very much. The book is filed in Italian History.
