I read this about 2 months ago for one of my college classes. I rated it one star not because I did not like the book. I rated it one star because there was a lot of mistakes in the book. There is wrong information within the first 16 pages. Then throughout the book there is more.
I enjoyed the content within the book when it was correct but the majority of my time reading this book. I was fact checking just to make sure it was correct.
I have an issue with reading books like this and majority of the information on people they speak about is incorrect. It takes away from the overall book.
You find one mistake, you think okay someone didn't catch it, too easy. You see two, then three and more after that. Now you as a reader do not even know if the book is trustworthy and have to fact check every time they mentioned a name, date, location etc.
But overall it is a decent book. If and when i find another book like this, that is actually correct. I will come back and insert it here.
