Overview: History has some massive stories from the founding the great library at Alexandria, to the fall of the Roman Empire. But, what are some of the stories of intrigue? That’s the section of history that Mr. Thornton seeks to share with us.
Story Telling: This is an educational book.
Dislikes: My only problem with this book is that I didn’t see some of these guys as jerks. You don’t owe someone just because he spared your life.
Likes: Some of the stories were fascinating. Who knew that Miss Borgia wasn’t as evil as some historians have portrayed her?
Conclusion: This is a good to trick your teenagers into reading about history. Just discuss the individuals with them.
