A review by ericness
City at the Edge of Forever: Los Angeles Reimagined by Peter Lunenfeld

informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

4.5

My daughter started going to UCLA so I wanted a book to give me a sense of the history of LA. While this book didn't cover traditional history, it did cover a number of important developments in LA in the 20th century that are a better guide to understanding "what is LA".
My only criticism of the book is that the author covered 3-4 topics in a chapter and would often seem to take a right turn into another topic in the middle of a story and never come back.
