Negative Positive
Title: More Scholarly than Interesting
Review: I heard a reference to this book on NPR in a humorous vein, so I incorrectly made the assumption it would be enlightening but humorous or at least informative. It's probably of interest to bibliophiles and amateur historians, but for the casual reader it's dense and disjointed. I'd be sure to read a few pages--and look at the Table of Contents--before buying to see if it meets your tastes and interests. Note: I only read about 25% of it so there may be more to this than I found.
