I was made to read this book by my 10th grdae AP World History Teacher...It is quite possibly the WORST BOOK I have ever read....both in school and out....If it is humanly possible, STEER CLEAR FROM THE WORLD THAT TRADE CREATED!!!


Rating: 3 out of 5
Repetitive
Like some of the other people who wrote reviews for this book, I go to the same school, and I also read this book for my summer reading for AP World History. The book was interesting, but pretty repetitive. Also it would have been better if I didn't have to take notes on it.
