Informative & engaging read, not quite what I‘d call narrative nonfiction but not textbookish, either. I learned a lot about Rio & aspects I only previously knew bits & pieces of, like favelas & the Bolsa Família program. It was more about the city‘s history, less about Olympics/World Cup than I expected based on the synopsis, & the author did have a few iffy moments. But much was fascinating; well worth the read if it‘s of interest to you. 4/5 ⭐️
