4.0

This book is a great insight into Paris' bloody history, but there are several writing errors in regard to its history, like mistaking Louis XVI (husband to Marie Antoinette) for his grandfather, Louis XV. Not a big deal to most, but getting the history in a book about history is kind of important (I am also a huge nerd for the history of the French Revolution). Also, there are misspellings of French locations, such as Orléans (which was missing the accent mark).

The book was informative, but the grammatical and other errors were sometimes too glaring to ignore.
