"I decided that my history is really weak and I need to learn more about it. This book was a nice overview of civilizations starting with Muhammed and Islam and going all the way through the forming of the United States. Well-written but a little over my head in that a fair bit of historical knowledge was assumed. I could follow it fine, but there were a lot of references I missed. Thus my need to bone up on history : ) Have to admit, it was a little dry and hard to read at say, lunchtime when I just wanted to relax. But I guess history will often be a little dull compared to a good thriller."
