    Poor Kate! She was horribly used and kept losing people that she loved.

    Storyville was probably the most interesting book that ive read this school year. It is about the red light district of old New Orleans. How the book got in my hands is a bit of a mystery - and one that a lot of people would never believe. It took me a while to get into the book but since it reflects the history of my neighborhood and house i thought that it was really interesting later on. It was cool to be able to recognise places in New Orleans that are still around today - and even getting to know the characters is nice. There are some twists and turns that i did not expect - and i really enjoyed it.

    A very good history book about a little researched area. Good pictures and reads well. Recommended
