Yes, yes, yes, I know I should have stopped reading it and given it away but I kept on believing that it would get better and it never did. What a waste of my time and such a heavy book to carry around in my bag for the last few weeks. It ended up being just a rather naff tourist guide to Florence and Venice with a bit of mad cap charging around Istanbul at the end. Infact I finished it this morning and just 8 hours later I have forgotten it and don't really know what to write about the plot. One good thing though Dante's Inferno looks like an interesting, gory read. It's made me think I should give that a go!
