Negative Positive
Title: This is the history book I wish I'd had in school.
Review: I never really understood the concept of "history" as a subject until I read this book. For the first time I saw the study of history as more than an endless series of dates and battles and facts about a lot of people many of whom the world is generally better off without. I learned a lot.I did notice a few minor technical errors in the history of time section. I found another section rather boring. Overall, however, I think it's an incredible intellectual tour-de-force that is well worth reading, if only for enlightenment about the stifling effect "the church" has had on progress.
Is the review positive or negative?
