Title: a very big disappointment
Product review: I bought the first two volumes and then happened to see the third in the library, so I checked it out. What a disappointment!! Not only was "Empire of Good Intentions" missing, as others have noted, but in this third volume Mr. Schama has gone off on a tangent and apparently forgotten this is supposed to be a history of Britain, NOT a sociological review of all that was bad in the last two centuries of Britain's history. I enjoyed learning the history of Britain in the first two, but somehow, what was actually happening in Britain in the 19th and 20th centuries was subservient to Mr. Schama's liberal take on everything. I am certainly glad I did not buy volume three. It pales in comparison to the first two.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
