Negative Positive
Title: UGH.
Review: An absolutely terrible book. Not a single footnote, crude and painful attempts at humor, off-the-wall theories (the bubonic plague actually came from space?), and an attempt at making the Black Death relevant to today's society all fall flat. If you want a decent study of the Black Death, steer clear. If you want to see how not to write popular history, pick this up and learn.
