Title: Reads like a text book.
Review: This review may not be entirely fair, as the first 40 pages of the book were so dry I could not finish it. It was like reading a text book. Based on the other review on this site, I tried to push on, but just couldn't spend the time reading something that I wasn't enjoying. The map at the beginning of the text didn't even include the places being mentioned in the history described in these first 40 pages. I was so looking forward to reading a historical account, but was expecting more of a story, and less of a text book.If you are looking for a straightforward factual account, this may be the book for you. I, however, was disappointed.
Is the review positive or negative?
