3.0 out of 5 stars More about house renovating than Morocco, 14 Sep 2006

By	E. Wilkins - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cinnamon City: Falling for the Magical City of Marrakech (Hardcover)

The majority of the book talked about the problems of doing up a property and being ripped off by builders, getting into financial problems and the like. The book could have really been set anywhere. There was little said about Morocco itself and the book wasnt very gripping. I would be interested to visit the property to see what it looks like though !

1.0 out of 5 stars Manages to make Marrakech boring!, 20 Mar 2006

By	S. Lowry "slbparkwest" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having visited this exciting city, I was interested to read this book to get another perspective. However the title is misleading as there is scant attention paid to the city itself and the fascinating culture that exists there.There is nothing to entice a potential traveller, which is amazing as the reality is so beguiling.
Instead we are given far too much unnecessary detail about house renovation and the trials & tribulations that result. It's all been done before far too many times.
Very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable - Brings back memories, 10 Feb 2006

By	M. Webber (Harrogate, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I went trekking in Morroco a couple of years ago and stayed in Marrakech duiring the trip. Reading this book brought back all the memories of a place I enjoyed.

With the lyrical and evocative descriptions you could think you were there in the thick of it..

Some bits are a bit Bill Bryson-ish with comments and thoughts on situations the couple found themselves and their guests in.

Well worth a look
