review 1: I did not finish this book in one day, but just got it on here for one day...Anyway, this was an interesting book. I will admit that I skimmed some of the pages and read others, but it was still interesting and it told history in a different view. With humor. Always more enjoyable to read when something is funny.It didn't talk alot about the U.S., but that is in another book. Looking forward to reading The United States.
review 2: There was both good and bad to this book. I liked how the book was arranged, and showed you what was happening around the world during different time periods. That really helped to correlate things in my mind. Some parts I would have liked to learn about in more depth, but in this type of format, just the highlights is a good thing. ... moreOn the downside, the humor wasn't really that funny. It got old quick. And besides that, some of the subjects were a little vulgar. less
