OVERVIEW/ MY OPINION: Well firstly I would like to appreciate this author's idea of coming up with such a good and an informative book.
This book contains stories of the Legends who shaped our lives, and no, this ain't any type of information that you might simply find out on the Internet . The writing style was good, it did not let my reading pace decrease , instead it was a very interesting read. I was introduced to so many new personalities while reading this book, also it updated my existing knowledge over the various personalities whom I already knew. The second good part about this book is the set of quotes that are attached after ever personality, it enhances ones reading experience . The only part wherein this book disappointed me a bit was when I noticed that there are hardly a few female personalities mentioned in here, I wanted more of them, because but obvious they have contributed to the society as well. There are many females about whom this author could have spoken about but he didn't.
Speaking about the cover, it's really something that catches one eye on it, it displays the pictures of all the people mentioned in this book. Now, I know that a few of you might think that because it has a touch of history in it, it might be boring. Let me tell you, it's not at all boring. I struggle while reading
Non Fiction , I like this genre but I struggle a bit with it. However this wasn't the case with this book, it was a really easy going , light read with simple language in it. Also it was a quick read, suitable for all age groups.
Another good thing is that it has covered almost all the fields such as arts, science,politics, humanity and literature.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to get into reading nonfiction/ historical books. Another thing that impressed me a lot was the ending of the book, in which this author has specified the key features and traits that are common among these personalities.
I'm really glad that it's finally made available in a kindle version, it's really inexpensive (in the kindle format) . This book is a must read for everyone, even if you hate reading ;-) I bet you'll not regret investing your time and money in it.
My Rating: 4/5
