A review by ma_kale_a
Kinky History by Esmé Louise James

Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

The writing was sooooo verbose and patronizing. The author wastes so many pages making you pretend you’re at a fictional dinner party with prominent historical figures instead of just presenting the information you opened the book to learn. It got really old really fast. I’m sure it’s well researched and full of good info, but I couldn’t slog through the writing to get to the good bits.
