Paris, Paris: Journey Into the City of Light by David Downie

1.0

A repetitive, shallow, rudderless little text composed of equal parts namechecking and complaint. Picture me bemused by the author's failure to convey any real enthusiasm for his subject; also, side-eyeing his favourite adjective, "man-eating", deployed on multiple occasions when he was skating lightly and incorrectly over the lives of famous past Parisiennes.
