Reviews

Abbott's Histories Are Fantastic!


(5 stars)

I love Jacob Abbot's histories. They're told in a beautiful way and aren't infected with our day's politically correct garbage. This book is a fine example.

Great book


(4.5 stars)

I rally do love this book. Certainly, its style and direct manner of narration. The reading is a tiny little too Quick, but overall good.

Thanks


(4.5 stars)

The book itself was the hardest of Abbotts to follow for me so far. But I do enjoy history. Thank you to the reader.

A great story

(5 stars)

well read- great narrator. wonderful historical series. highly recommend all the makers of history Jacob Abbot books.


(4 stars)

It's good and all, just a bit hard to follow.

Supremacist and racist a little bit


(4 stars)

Decent story, and comments, with good background to Alfred's life. Incorrect about Egyptians being Caucasians and racist in saying the Caucasians are better. I am Caucasian, but I think the faith of a people determines their culture and faculties not genes. All are sinners in need of God's Grace...
