Title: Knowledegable writer, but too much a show-off
Product review: I'm surprised by the many favorable reviews - I find this book clumsily organized and unnecessary in many of its details. I have no doubt that Professor Davies knows what he's writing - but engaging in this book is like entering a labyrinth, and ultimately one's more assured of the tremendous brain power of the writer than what he is trying to write about the history of Europe.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
