I really don’t like it. I expected luxurious landscapes and Italian summer vibe, but all I got was a inseminated peach, a weird poop scene, and 200 pages of unbearable obsession.

Some reviews critique the book for being too meta and ignoring exciting moments in history. I think the book is accomplishing its mission nicely: big history.

Notable judgement on the lasting value of Egyptian culture. Very good book, though.
