Save your time, the author was boring and liked to write for the sake of writing. A real snoozer.
My first Durant book. It is deep, and I can see where some would even say boring, but I enjoyed it some. Narration was pretty good, which helped. It is cool to see someone else's list of the smartest, most creative people of all time. Then to see his definitions, as to who made it and how . . . worth the read for those alone.
So So. Disk 1 great Disk 2 & 3 poor. Very dry and rambling
This was hard to follow; guaranteed to make you a driving hazard. I don't know if the subject matter was just too broad or my educational background just too shallow, but this book did not take, and at the end of the third disc, I could not coherently explain what I had been listening to.
A disappointment following an outstanding tome "Lessens of History" by Durant. This is more of a list than analysis and Durant offers very little in the way of his uncanny insight into history. Would avoid as there are others that are of better value for the time spent.
