Title: Entertaining & Exaggerating
Review: I have read this 2nd book by Thomas Cahill and like his first book, it's aim is solely to sell books, it cannot in any sense of the word be called scholarly. It's simplicity makes it very entertaining reading, however when he makes bold claims about the contribution (not influence) it is wholeheartedly exaggerated in order to appeal and sell more books.No doubt that his next books on the Greeks & Egyptians etc... will follow the same entertaining and exaggerating style in order to continue to be best sellers.The one star rating given is due to the simple fact that he tries to pass off what is clearly meant to entertain for enlightment.
