Consequently, I am positive that there are readers out there that would enjoy The Eternal City. By the number of stars that I've given this particular book, I don't want anyone to think that the story is absolutely terrible-it just didn't suit my tastes. However, it just wasn't what I was expecting. I had such high expectations for this book, and I really wanted to love it.

This is one review that I have been struggling with, especially because I have mixed feelings about The Eternal City.
