Title: 450 pages too long
Product review: The author had a great idea for a book. He collected enough 'meat' for about 30-50 pages and then exploded it into almost 500 pages of boring talk, so typical of many historians.There are a few gems in this book and those few who manage to persevere through the boredom of the text may find it somewhat rewarding. Had the author written a 50-page book that covers the essence of what he has to offer, this would have been a four or five star book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
