Title: A book to devour; a book to send you back to the bookstore.
Review: Manchester makes the age come alive. Half-way through the book, I reported to my 80 year old mother who had just finished her re-read of Dante and was ready for a new "read." She obtained it and finished it before I did! Loved it. Looking over some of the reviews here by the 'scholars' I am reminded of the definition of an expert: An "X" in mathmatics is an unknown factor and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure. Perhaps scholarly experts do not wish to read about how out of touch those in power really may be. Read this book!
