review 1: The content was interesting although citations would have been helpful (I am not sure if the Kindle edition somehow left out citations like the pictures, so this may be a non-issue). The bigger problem for me was the poor grammar and lack of flow even within each section. I am not a grammar nazi, but when poor sentence structures are present it makes it difficult to read and detracts from the content.
review 2: All-too-quick historical trivia in a Kindle edition absent the book's images, needed editing and littered with random hyperlinks made this an underwhelming read. The author is abviously a history fanatic with a lot of knowledge to share, but the delivery was lacking.Did you know the Wright Brothers weren't actually the first to make a powered flight? T... morehat they weren't even second? (Of course, being the first to have a photographer on hand is what made the difference.) That was one of the best of the breathless, hurried vignettes. less
