Sue Myers's Reviews > Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age

I am definitely an outlier here which surprises me because I generally like nonfiction and love archaeology. This book was downright boring and rather moralizing. The section on Pompeii was the best, particularly because we have written records of that city. The civilization in modern day Turkey was rather interesting, but I felt that Ankor cities and Cahokia was extremely technical and did not flow. Was truly interested in the life of the ordinary people of each of the cities. The drawn maps were helpful and interesting, but actual photographs would have added to one's understanding.
