This book is actually one I like to read again and again. John Berendt is a former magazine writer and his first book "Midnight In The Garden of Good And Evil" was a fascinating peek at Savannah society as well as a peek inside the judicial system - following trials of Jim Williams for murder - tried multiple times for the same murder and acquitted each time. "The City of Falling Angels" turns it attention to the ancient Italian city of Venice, and the tragic fire that destroyed the famous opera house there. This is a true story and it covers not only the fire, but several scandals that rocked Venetian society. It is populated with characters that are too colorful to be real, but indeed, they are. Read this book.

The facts presented in the beginning of the book are pretty well documented, but towards the very end as he begins to expand those early principles into larger theories like the behaviors of superorganisms and memes, the science starts to disappear and is replaced with ornate writing to back up the concepts. I really liked the ideas, but the book would have been a lot better if it were 50 pages shorter.

It breaks my heart that I didn't like this more- I usually LOVE Moore's work. But I've never liked King Lear, and this parody just didn't work for me. There were a few good one-liners and giggleworthy moments, but overall, I just couldn't get into it.

I love Pat Conroy, but this book - much like Beach Music - had an irritatingly noble narrator. The writing is generally gorgeous, but the story and characters seemed like modified versions of ones he's already written.

Ill get back to this one, its been awhile since I've read 451
