Fun

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was actually a pretty fun read. It was really interesting to learn new things about New York, from theatre to historical battles to the Statue of Liberty to sports. I really enjoyed it, and I loved the test yourself section at the end of each chapter.
