This is one of the best books that I have read in my entire life! The book is called “The City of Falling Angeles” by John Berendt. This is a mystery that you have to read to find out what happened.
The setting takes place in Venice, Italy. Venice is one of my favorite places to travel. I hope I will get an opportunity to go there. The way the water flows into the city is beautiful. Speaking about Venice, years ago, there was a sudden fire that destroyed the Venice Opera House. Days later, the author tells the truth about what caused the fire. Let me tell you something about what the author said. It was a little bit confusing, but it will blow your mind. When I read this story, I felt like I was one of the Venitians realizing that the opera house was destroyed. Nobody knew how. It was terrifying for the civilians in Venice. This was real just like the cathedral that was burned in Paris. Imagine one of the landmarks in your city was destroyed, wouldn’t you feel sad and terrified? Before I read the story I asked myself, “is this a mystery I am going to read?” The cover of the book looked rather creepy. On the cover of the book was a picture of a big cathedral that had an arc and a blanket floating. I think the point of the picture was to give me a sense that the story is a mystery. The main character is the author, John Berendt. Whenever he talks about the opera house and tries to figure what caused all of this, it leads him to a path that leads to another, that leads to another, and well, you know where I am getting. It’s a combination! I think the theme of the story is facing the Darkness. Italy is known for its image: by its cars, accesories, structures, wine, clothing, and its food. Seeing one of the most amazing buildings being burned down was sad for everyone living in Venice. John Berendt finds the truth about how the opera house was burned and I thing that signifies the Darkness of Venice. The Reality of Italy!
