A Short History Of Nearly Everything
: Bill Bryson is such a great author, because he can keep you interested in ALL things. His travel guides are simply amazing, but he's now taken to writing other books, and this one is a great example. I don't like science (or rather, I don't understand it), so I find it hard to read about it. However, Bryson cracks it with this book and delivers science on a plate so perfectly. I actually understand new things now - about dinosaurs; about space; about the stars, about geology. A very impressive and well needed book. 10/10

: I am an Ancient Historian at heart and love it when a book is as passionate about these periods as I am. Tom Holland is a genius, who keeps on entertaining in this book, and what a subject! The Roman Republic was a very bloody, busy and interesting time. Once you have read this book, watch Rome - Season 1-2 - Complete [DVD]
. 10/10 for this book, and 9/10 for Rome. Excellent work.
