A review by spiderfelt
1421: The Year China Discovered America by Gavin Menzies

4.0

After reading a raft of reviews, it seems there is much doubt about whether the claims could possibly be true, and yet the evidence brought forth by the narrator certainly makes it seem like the only possible answer for many strange historical artificats, genetic material and the spread of both botanical and animals species around the world.

My inability to stay fully engaged in the material is the only reason I wouldn't give it five stars. Perhaps I am too easily distracted, or couldn't keep the names and dates straight while listening to the audiobook, but I found my mind wandered as the narrator read.
