Summary: very readable
Review: For teachers and amateur historians, this is a very readable text. Plus, the layout is nice and easy to look at. It also offers a reasonably good bibliography as well as chapter summaries. All in all it is user-friendly

Summary: Terrible so far
Review: I am having the hardest time reading this book for my freshman World History class. It is so tremendously boring. It is not written very well and the format (small print, few subtitles...) is horrible. I can't read it!

Rating:
Summary: Terrible so far
Review: I had this history book the first semester of my freshman year in college and let me tell you, it is a very dry book. There is a lot of unnecessary information and all the little details make it even worse. Also, some of the information is dusty while some of the points the author points out are very arguable and seem untrue. Once again, this is a very dry book.
