Not a good choice for an audiobook, although very informative and amazing amounts of detail. I think I'll retain the bog takeaways.

Well researched book that offers a very comprehensive look at the Silk Road. And a real accomplishment to be able to go from BC to present day in one book. If you are looking to expand your knowledge of this area of the world, would recommend!
I found this very interesting, dealing with a lot of complex issues in an interesting way. It did take me a while to get into though - I might have got more out of it reading it in book form not on audiobook.

The entire opener of the book was about how is not about Europe. Most of the book was about Europe or in the context of Europe.

The task to write global history in 500 pages is a challenging one and Frankopan managed to do it quite well. For those who want new perspective on how the world developed and how developments in various Middle Eastern countries are connected I recommend to read the book. Plenty of sources, coupled with authors accessible and engaging style makes reading really enjoyable
