Review of 'Imaginary Cities' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Imaginary Cities is definitely worth a read but just be aware of what you're getting into.

Do not expect to be taken by the hand and guided through a world view. This is more like a train ride whizzing past sites, trying to get a glimpse as it all flies past.

The author covers a remarkable amount of ground but in doing so sacrifices any real depth. This is not necessarily a bad thing - and I don't think I've ever highlighted so many passages from any book - but this makes it feel a bit unsatisfactory to this reader.

A very interesting book, but one that throws everything at the reader - good or bad.
