Book Reviews of A Literary Companion to Rome: Including Ten Walking Tours

Book Review: A must for book lovers
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an impeccably researched and footnoted book that packs in a ton of information about the major writers (i.e. all of them) who spent time in Rome and wrote about the experience. There's a quote on just about every page from someone famous, from Keats and Dickens and Zola to Florence Nightingale and Bernard Malamud. The author must have spent several years and exhausted any number of chairs researching this book. Once you read this book you will have to track down at least 25 more esoteric tomes following threads that pique your interest. I have not yet tried any of the walks, but just reading this amazing book is enough.
