caidyn 's review for:
A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century
by Barbara W. Tuchman
Rating this one four stars this time because it really does show how absolutely insane this century was. I couldn't believe how much stuff happened that could fill books of its own. I did like it more the second time around because I know more about the era in general and I could see how it influenced the ideas of a professor I had for a history class.
Original review
2.5
This truly should have been a biography on Coucy. The title is very misleading, although it goes into the general things that happened in the fourteenth century, though they mainly revolved around Coucy and his hand in the events. Nonetheless, it was good and interesting. A bit more in depth on random things than I thought it would be, so it was tedious. Easy to space out during when I wasn't interested, but easy to pay attention to when it was on something I was interested in.
