When a reader decides to enlighten himself by reading a book about a city such as Paris he would expect to learn things he did not know before.To do so, any writer should be explicit,clear and articulate so that his readers,who do not know much about it, get familiar with his subjects,characters, places or events that populate his opus.
Unfortunately, this is not the case here.A previous critic here-with whom i concur totally- has already mentioned the deplorable fact that Robb does not make clear who's who until the end of his short tales,which are also unrelated and do not have anything in common..Had his book been a thriller,I could have only sympathized with this approach.After all,this is one of the best and oldest literary devices to assure the reader's attention and suspense .In this case,the writer of this abysmally terrible- written book has caused me to drop it after some tens of pages.Paris will still be a gem without this failure.Get more detail about Parisians: An Adventure History of Paris.
