Title: Pedantic drivel
Review: I'm a history nut -- a couple of months on India then a few on China...then on to Russia, etc. I'm nearly always reading a history book. I had this book in my wish list when my brother bought it for my birthday. A complete waste of his money and my time. Pedantic drivel of an author who deems himself reflective and his thoughts important...and who must love the sound of his own voice...going on and on... I, unfortunately, suffer from the concept that once a book is started it must be finished. So, 3/4 through the thoroughly forced read and still not a glimpse of the "Indian slave, name unknown, who some seven hundred years before had traveled to the Middle East." So I don't even know if he ever does make an appearance...and certainly don't care.
Is the review positive or negative?
