Product Description

Review
"The writing is strong and sure, and the story is nicely laced with romance."
--"Booklist, Boxed Review
"Napoli paints Venice with loving detail that is a gift to the senses. . . . [The story] offers a unique slant on contemporary politics and perspectives couched in exotic romance."--"School Library Journal

Synopsis
Spending the summer in Venice with his family turns confusing for Percy when he meets a beautiful, politically radical Venetian girl who wants him to help sabotage his father's engineering project in order to drive tourists out of the city.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, Historical, Summer Romance, 14 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: For the Love of Venice (Hardcover)
Dear Looking For A Good Book To Read, You have found it. This wonderfully written book is a twist of: romance between an American tourist (Percy) and a politically radical Venetian girl (Graziella) & Venetian politics when a group of politically radical teens try to stop the government of Venice from having the Expo in their city. IF YOU BUY ONE BOOK IT SHOULD BE THIS ONE!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book. Not the best, but still VERY good for its class., 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: For the Love of Venice (Hardcover)
This book is something like I've never seen in books before. Of course I may have seen more, but it was a shock. I had just finished reading a hard-core fantasy, and I wanted to read it again, but I had to read this and it Literally woke me up! I enjoyed the book less because I was still in fantasy land, so this book was a splash of cold water on my face after a nice, warm, cozy sweet-dream nap. One tip. Don't read the fantasy first. Happy Reading!
