mylifewithbooks's review against another edition
It's tedious to read because the theme doesn't allow to spend time with each character as would a biography, so I'm not that invested. Plus, despite me knowing the title, I think there is too much emphasis on certain men and their glories. I would have liked to know more about women, and abouy those men's flaws.

Learned a lot from this book and considering how dense with information it is, it was an enjoyable read.

I have watched a lot of Documentaries by Dan Jones so I knew from the beginning that I like is style of telling history. And this book did not disappoint. It was exactly what I expected! Although it took me longer than planned to finish it because it was just so much information and I wanted to retain it all. A must read for british history lovers!
