I enjoyed this book because it was educational, and gave me good context for Dante's Inferno, which I started reading awhile ago. The book also made me nostalgic for Florence and Venice. It's funny. I have never been to Istanbul, so those descriptions didn't do much for me. Travelling really does change your perspective on the world.
At times the book read like a travelogue, causing me to become impatient and read the ending. That, of course, eliminated the element of suspense.
