Title: My first negative review of a current work
Product review: This book is mistitled. It is straight, mainstream history with little that is any more wierd than history generally is. Because of that, I think it verges on false product labelling. It gets 2 stars instead of one as the history that is contained in it is interesting and well written.The personal memories of a participant in various portions of history are not strange in any way. They are, in fact, the basis for much that is written as history. I am content that the book has some value to me as a student of our civilization, but do feel that the average reader will find it dry as dust.If you are looking for a book that has a humorous approach to the subject, look elsewhere. Yes, I found a laugh or two in it, but I have been known to break up while reading Plato.
