Interesting list

Of course open for debate which items should be on the list but still I found it fun to listen to. I will check the other books in the series.

Not good enough

It fails to explain all the events in a mesmerising way. It doesn’t talk about each event and its effect in elaboration. Simply tells you about the events. It should have taken into account all aspects of that event and made some correlation with other things for critical analysis. Won’t recommend, not worth the money.
