Negative Positive
Title: Semi-Factual, but unreadable
Review: This was required summer reading for my daughter's 10th grade AP European History class. The assignment also included an essay and a few sheets of fill in the blank questions. For weeks she and her friends struggled with the assignment because of the dry and uninteresting nature of the writing. The time period covered was, in fact, quite interesting, and many writers have covered the material better.I don't recommend this book. I'm an avid reader and medieval history fan, and while I helped her with her questions, reading passages of this book was nearly painful.
