Negative Positive
Title: Flat History
Review: I'm a history buff that discovered the tulip mania phenomenon and was eager to read an exciting, in-depth account of a truly fascinating piece of history. Mike Dash's non-fiction attempt, laden with cumbersome statistics and repeated points, was disappointing and impossible to read through as anything but research. The focus jumps around and is hard to follow or care about without any connecting characters or themes, and I was thoroughly disappointed overall with this book. Someone needs to get to work on a piece that does justice to this incredible time and place.
