I liked this book, and it does a good job of keeping on its theme: that is, linking the spread of specific beverages to world, historical events. However, it reminded me a lot of Glass, Paper, Beans by Leah Hager Cohen, which I enjoyed more. Possibly because I read both these books within the past year, I was not as impressed by History of the World in Six Glasses as I might otherwise have been.
Nevertheless, the subject matter is interesting and easy to follow. It is very well researched, as shown by the large number of references listed at the end. It's a good, easy historical read.
