## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good overview
  

*by F***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 7, 2013*

I had previously enjoyed another book edited by Mr. Cotterel on ancient History, so I was eager to read this.Although it necessarily has to go very quickly and lightfooted over such an enormous subject matter, I think the book reaches its goals.Any reader needs to have some notions of the History of at least some of the regions of Asia in order not to get lost with so much information, but that said, the book is wisely organized, balanced, and well written. Dates and names do appear, but only as helpful references, for the main speech rather relies on bigger topics such as the general evolution of societies and civilizations involved. This makes it easy to follow, but also convenient to have a basic mental map in which to fit the pieces.All in all, the book provides a good general overview and can be a useful introduction to further reading in more specific areas (whether geographical in nature or other), to which end the bibliography section is a good help.Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Too concise.. and too much focus on religion, in my opinion
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2013*

The telling goes so fast and is very brief in the first ca. 1/3 of the book, so that I do not manage to get a feel of the societies the author is discussing. And it feels like region is almost the only thing that is being discussed. I know it was and is an important part of societies and defined their lives in many ways, but still it would be much more interesting to see how the people's lives were organised, try to understand how it was to live in that time in that specific country.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great family read!
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2014*

My husband bought this to read to our teens after dinner each night. We all found this book to be clear, concise, and informative. Each chapter was short enough to keep us all focused and interesting enough to keep us all talking about it. I'd highly recommend this to anyone!
