An interesting historical account, but the writing felt detached. The illustrations add a nice touch, but are not enough.

Found it hard to connect with the narrative. The illustrations are nice but didn’t fully compensate for the dry writing. Okay book.

Not my favorite. The writing felt rambling and the illustrations, while pretty, didn’t save it. Too boring for my taste.
