The writing at first seemed quite hard, but as soon as I got used to it, it worked out pretty good. I'm not the biggest fan of history, and my knowledge on the field isn't really that good, so I have no idea whether the facts in this book are true or false, but I liked the way it made me doubt things.
This is a masterpiece.
