Well, compared to other history textbooks, this was relaxing and quick. It was organized in a clear way, there was a lot of interesting information and it was so clean-cut. I really don't mind reading it at all, I'll look at it fondly as being a very cute and easy textbook that I'll always have if I ever need to re-learn my American history. ^,^ It's a bit sad, but there's a second book and I'm excited.
This book was more interested in culture than in some of the other aspects of history. It was refreshing to read a book written about people instead of dates and activities.
