Book Reviews of London: The Biography

Book Review: Love affair with a city...
Summary: 5 Stars

What I like most about the book is the organized, easy to follow timeline. Literally peppered with quotes from Londoners and the author's personal feelings, it was fascinating to read, and simple to digest. I had the opportunity to read the book once during a trip to this city and prior to another visit. The history of landmarks opened up a new perspective. I was not just seeing Covent Garden with the current stores and structures. I was walking in a former "Convent Garden", that later became a market, which is currently a market of street talent, modern stores, and different walks of life. London does not change easily.

I highly recommend this book to individuals interested in English History and people who love to visit London. It provides an in depth perspective of this incredible city, delving below the surface, and introducing a London that is mysterious and engaging.
