I think the book was like any other country book. But there was one problem there wasn't as much culture as I expected that an Arab country would have.

Don't let the three stars put you off, this book seems to be a pretty good source of information in Tunisia. The book gave a really good overview of most aspects about the country of Tunisia without burying the reader into a deep grave of details. The sections of the book were well split up, the accompanying pictures were alright and the timeline at the end was very helpful in summary and seeing events in relation to one another. However, the captions accompanying the pictures could often be excessively lengthy and sometimes I felt lunch chunks of text could be livened up a little with perhaps just a couple of extra pictures here and there. Yet what caused me to give this book only three stars was a typo. A very small little thing but it made me question the authority of the information in the book for if a typo had been missed then perhaps some historical detail or a statistic had also been misprinted. However, I do believe the information, on the whole, was well presented and the book provided a reasonably engaging read.

The history section is painfully long. I also wish there were pronunciations.
