Reviews

[Eamonn · Rating 2 out of 5]

A fine overview of some impactful books - more of a coffee table book than a serious nonfiction book.

[Helen White · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you like books that are lists of books this is good. There's the usual suspects and the information about them is interesting. What I mainly noticed is that while some boos are much older than I realised, there aren't many modern books on the list - have books stopped changing the world or are we too close historically to see their impact?

I could fight you on probably 1/3 of these.
