1666

Interesting read. It covered the plague and how it was dealt with including implementing “pest houses” where they would send everyone that had the plague and the fact that when the rich left the cities most of the Doctors went with them. So that left the people who weren't well off to deal with this largely on their own.

It also covered the war between England and Holland and the massive London fire of the time. The author did a good job of presenting the historical facts while still making it interesting. There were times when I thought it droned on a bit (thus the 3 star rating) but some of the other areas were interesting enough to make it worth a read.
