Title: So fascinating yet manic
Review: This book is filled with an immense amount of historical information in regards to Iran and the country's history. I find Iranian history fascinating on its own. Sandra Mackey has written the most unorganized and poorly structured book I have ever picked up. It jumps around so much that it makes it very difficult for the reader to gain a clear understanding of the history and influential personalities mentioned. If you have to read this for class and a research paper or test is required, I don't see it possible to not spend hours flipping back and forth from the index to marked page. I would find this book incredibly enjoyable if it were better structured. There is no doubt in my mind that she is an expert on middle eastern studies, but the book really does read terribly. Could have been so great. The history of Iran is an amazing story on its own.
