One of the most boring books I've ever read
Being that I am a history buff, I was so excited when I bought this book. I couldn't have been more wrong. Normally, I can finish a book in six hours; this book took me three weeks. I kept falling asleep reading it!There are no characters or a plot, it reads like a term paper--just facts and dates. It vaguely mentions the lives and events of the ordinary people in the year 1000, and it appears that the authors didn't make an effort to even try to make this book interesting.Do yourself a favor and do not buy this book, unless you need help falling asleep.
