juliebouchonville 's review for:
The Other Side of History : Daily Life in the Ancient World
by Robert Garland
This was very thorough, and i seriously loved the tone and humor of the author. I had a great time all in all.
That being said, it is true we simply dont know as much about common people than we do about famous or rich ones, and at times, it showed as Garland engaged in some padding, telling us that, as common people, we perceived the rich ones and their (detailed) occupations in such and such way.
So, really good all in all, but for a book that was so much about commoners, i wish we had talked about them a bit more.
