3.5
This events in the book as well as the geopolitical history was well researched and laid out. The beginning and end were fascinating. The middle - detailing the daily life and robberies of Attila - was tedious to read. That lost a lot of momentum and made me less sympathetic to the man. When the question is whether this man was a Robin Hood or a criminal, I would call him a criminal. I don’t think reading it was a waste of time, but I’m not sure who I would recommend it to.
