Review # 1 was written on 2007-12-01 00:00:00 Steve Reynolds P19/33: I don't like the familiar nature of the commentator -- it's almost as if he is speaking with me rather than writing a book. And though I am not bothered by this style in other works (anything by Mary roach or bill Bryson) here it is annoying, especially the way he references other works -- as if they were his great friends who he needs to refer to in sycophantic gushing terms. Similarly I don't like his unfounded and unreferenced moral judgements on situations -- with regards to the conquering of one state by another in ancient times, or the Chinese approach to astronomy for the benefit of the masses as somehow less valuable than the individualistic Greek approach for "curiosity"

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-14 00:00:00 James Tubb Comprehensive and informative, but often reads like a list of events rather than a cohesive story
