Summary: Not so easy!
Review: I'm not so sure than a two volume series on World History with a total of nearly 1000 pages of information deserves to be called 'The Easy Way.' This is definitely NOT a short and sweet study guide for the new AP World History exam. If that's what you're looking for, I suggest you check out the AP World History study guides published by Peterson's or Barron's. On the other hand, if you're a high school teacher looking for a supplement to your textbook, or if you're a home-schooler who is looking for a textbook complete with practice tests, then this series may have value; however, I suspect that most people are going to find it a fairly traditional 1000 page summary of world history too tedious and utilitarian to be either engaging or useful. Frankly it begs comparison not with study guides or supplements, but with textbooks - which come with plenty of supplementary materials.In my opinion, the book(s) should have been thematically organized and less than half as long.

Summary: Pretty good book
Review: This book allowed me to get an introduction into world history and it helped me learn basic facts in the past. This also had a test for every chapter that was read. The test allowed me to learn more efficiently and easily. This book was very interesting and had good desciptions in most areas and it is a sure recommendation for people to read if they are having trouble in World History or if they just want to learn it for fun.

Summary: very helpful
Review: This book was very helpful for me because not only does it give a good summary of world history but it gives quizzes at the end which helped me to evaluate how much I learned and retained. I was able to then go back through the chapter and read over the parts that I got wrong. That helped me to study and remember the information. I loved this book so much that I am looking for the first volume in this series as well.
