Summary: brilliantly written without pedantry
Comment: This book is one of those books that makes you wonder why you bother with fiction. Fletcher has created such brilliant characterizations, and his writing is so witty and fine, that it is a sensual pleasure to read. This kind of book is why one bothers to read at all; truly lovely.
Rating: 5
Summary: engaging
Comment: 700 years of slaughter nicely summarized in a consise 175 pages. I enjoyed the read so much that i looked up the author's university website where I found his office phone number. I called England, but he wasn't in (which was probably good, because what was i going to say?).
Rating: 4
Summary: A lucidly informative account
Comment: Dealing with the 700 years of Muslim civilisation in Iberia, this is a gem of popular history, entertaining without sacrificing scholarly attention to detail. The prose is sharp, evocative, and eminently easy to read; the pages are filled with ancedotes and stories that bring this lost world to life. A taster rather than comprehensive, this is an essential companion to travels in Spain, or an ideal way to begin learning more about this oft-overlooked period.
