A review by theguildwriter
A Little History of the World by E.H. Gombrich

informative lighthearted fast-paced

3.5

A great book on history for anyone looking to skim for some facts you might not have known before. Personally, I felt it was a little fluff-filled for a history book, as I had been in the mood for something a little denser, a little more serious. But, in terms of a book looking to make history accessible, interesting, and fun for those who might not be particularly interested in the subject, it does a great job of making the journey less daunting. E.H. Gombrich was clearly passionate about his field and loved sharing his love of history with others. 

To sum up: for history buffs? May be a little boring. For those looking to get into history? Great place to start.
