I'm not having much luck with books at the moment. This started well with descriptions of London's covered up rivers and why people decided to cover them up because they were so filthy. Then there was an interesting paragraph on how underground stations are built, and that was it!
By chapter 3 it was SO boring. The author just talked about what he learnt as he went round London with tour guides. he was just grabbing sound bites from tour guides and people on the street. The book was more about him and the people he was meeting. Which would have been fine if he or the people he were meeting were interesting!
By chapter 5 I gave up. it's not often that I stop reading a book. I always think it will get better but life is just too short to trudge through this shit. A poor, dull, tat filled 'book'.
