Non-Fiction

I just downloaded a sample and read through the first few chapters. Seems like a standard nonfic work to me, and seemed to flow well and move along at a decent pace, in my estimation.

I can point you to some dry history books, since I had to read my share of them for the upper level history component at uni. I still get a nervous tic when I think of Revolution and History by Arif Dirlik. It's a history of the rise of Marxism in China pre-Mao. Bloody hell, what a slog of a book that was!

The Grann is a barn-burner in comparison to books like that.
