Although I ultimately enjoyed my time with this, I'll admit that by the end all it did was make me crave a proper history book.
I'll agree with most of the other reviewers on this one, it should be marketed more as a history book for teens or young adults, it definitely gave me flash backs to "horrible histories."
Another slight letdown, is that although the book markets itself as a general look at worldwide history, instead you get a very anglicized collection of history (Boris Johnson should not be mentioned 10+ times in any book mind you.)
However, in the end I enjoyed my time with it, the good thing about occasionally approaching something very surface level is that it makes you want to go deeper, and I won't be surprised if in the coming months I buy some more academic history books on certain events and time periods which are briefly mentioned in "The rest is history."

Would propably be nicer if you are into the podcast and/or already know a bit more about the actual facts in some cases to enjoy the humours parts more.
