A review by harmonyln7
A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor

adventurous challenging informative slow-paced

3.0

is there an option to say this book was extremely slow? It was interesting in places and is great if you want something to dip inand out of. However I found it far too tedious tokeep reading in one go, hence it taking a year to read it. I think it would be good if you want to use parts for a research project or something of that nature, as it would give a brief overview of the object in question and something of the history surrounding it, which will probably lead to finding other books around that specific object or time period. After all, the book does give mention to different systems of religien and belief, as well as different cultures.
