The book is engaging and a page turner for most part. I was really into it till it discussed the Lisbon floods. Once it moved past 1700s and reached the 1800s and the present modern era, it switches to a western centric narrative of global history. The birth of UN and other such organisations are clearly an indication of how the rest of the world was mere playground for the west.
