A look at the 28 addresses on the UK Monopoly board. This book was written in 2002, so it's an interesting snapshot of London after the neoliberal 90s, but before the last 15 years of real-estate feeding frenzy. (It's also a snapshot of humor writing from 2002, which can be a bit much). Moore shares the history of all the places he visited, sometimes going back to the Roman era, with special emphasis on how they would have looked and felt to a visitor in the mid 1930s, when the UK version of monopoly was developed. Do Not Pass Go is full of facts and history, and is great for provoking further research into the history of London. At times the author is clearly trying too hard to provoke a laugh, but even the clunkier chapters were full of history and lore, & I kept reading despite Moore's cringier attempts at 'humor'. The "Advance to Go", "Free Parking", & "Mr Monopoly" chapters stood out as my favorites. Finally this book has whet my appetite for board games and also a working public transit system.
