Oliver Kunzmann owkei — Wow: I really liked this book. I know what you're thinking. "Isn't this kind of like Guns, Germs, and Steel Don't I already probably basically know the story of what happened when Europeans showed up in the Americas?" Answers: No, and probably not. Mann has done a really excellent job here of telling the story of the "Columbian Exchange": the movement of people, metals, plants, insects, pathogens, animals, and, well, just about anything you can imagine, between the New World and the Old World. And the key word here is movement — bi-directional movement. It's not just about Europeans bringing disease to the New World, it's not just about maize going to the Old World. It's not really even about Europe vs. the Americas — Asia plays an equally important role here as the western route of the Columbian Exchange. Most importantly, Mann has done an excellent job of collating, synthesizing, and popularizing bounds and bounds of scholarly work on the Americas before Contact. I learned tons about these cultures, their environmental practices, their agricultural practices, their living practices. Mann leaves no stone unturned, which makes for a fairly long book, but really, every page is chock-a-block with amazing stories, well-woven together, all of which have as much relevance for the present moment as they do the historical past. I've been reading this for many months, now, on and off, and it has supplied me with an endless font of cocktail party conversational points. I know, maybe that's not your bag, but seriously, this stuff is fascinating. More importantly, Mann has a wonderful way of writing. You get sucked in, and you never feel talked down to. He's never erudite to be erudite, he's never pedantic, he never lectures. He just leads you through interesting historical events, connecting them all together with a narrative of globalization (one he is smart enough to be ambivalent about). It's a fascinating book; I can't recommend it enough. This should be mandatory reading in every high school and college in the United States.

Jonathan Hamot jonathanhad8bf — One of my favorite Vonnegut works besides maybe Slapstick, the story is told under the science fiction umbrella but has some heady ideas about life and reality that leave you thinking long after you read it.

Chris Bennett _hris_ennett_rt — A well written page turner which gives a thorough overview of Audrey Hepburn's personal and professional life. At times, the account appears biased since Spoto takes liberties in interjecting his own opinions into his writing. It is clear that he quite consciously seeks to protect and preserve her reputation. In spite of his biased account, it still remains a gratifying read of one of the most lovely actresses of her time.

Hiroaki Akamatsu hakmt — I read the Farsi translation of this book. I believe the original story would be much more better. However I really enjoyed the book.

Hina Naqvi hinanaqvi — An interesting historical fiction. Lots of social history included which was enlightening to read. I can't believe the major class differences and how corrupt some people can be. Loved the heroin Grace. Will have to check out more from this author.

Joana Coelho _oana_abbit — My friend Tracy gave me this book and it has become one of my favorites. Dark and lovely.
