Pros

A history of venice draws the reader into the alleys and lagoons of venice, and allows him/her to see a thousand years of history through the eyes of a venetian. Includes short notes about historical buildings, memorials and tombs that can still be fo...  Read More

The author spins a gripping narrative of the political, military, and commercial themes that waxed and waned in venice over the years. It is astonishing to read how often venice was on the edge of complete ruin, only to emerge renewed and powerful. Es...  Read More

    For example while reading an exhaustive history of venice the author heaped detail after detail into his report


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As i had already read norwichs book i knew the author was talking about the sack of constantinople that occurred during the fourth crusade


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The author of the other history failed to comment about the fourth crusade


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There could be more and more comprehensive maps


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    No i take it back the chapter on the fourth crusade was gripping


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But then again can you really blame history for not following the laws of dramatic structure


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This time the subject matter just isnt quite so fascinating
