I'm not sure who this book is aimed at. Each chapter takes place at a different time in history and there is a short summary of the technological advances at the end along with some footnotes explaining some of the historical events mentioned. It's all rather basic and, frankly, patronising. So I assumed I'd picked up a children's book by mistake. That was until the F-bombs started dropping. The author also used some words incorrectly and there are spelling mistakes. I wanted something light and fluffy after a run of heavy and depressing books, but I'm afraid this just made me cross.
