"Monroe - The last founding father"
A timely reminder of a great, self made patriot and world stateman. It brings into focus the courage of a young nation to defend the cause of the freedom of nations and individuals.
"Boring, by whichever parameter one might use"
It is just a sequel of trivial facts, expressed crudely with abundant four letter words.
"WAR AND PEACE"
It is so long that the story becomes insignificant. The narrator's impersonation of the different characters is quite unrealistic.
"Amazing Careers - Very disappointing!"
Lincoln's life cannot be compared with that quite trivial of the ladies mentioned in the book. Einstein's life is not trivial, but in this book the publisher just copied the text of Meet Albert Einstein which I previously bought, Can the same text be used with no warning for two titles by the same publisher?
"Amazing engineers"
An interesting but superficial story. The Time-work story possibly duplicates the Time-work story from Amazing Inventors by the same publisher.
"Einstein"
Excellent synthesis of the man Albert, showing his genius for sciences and his attraction to the "gentle" sex makes one understand that even during years of rigid formality full and dedicated love is the prime mover of great minds.
"Edith Piaf"
The life of a simple, generous woman, told with simplicity through all her loves and weaknesses.
"Beethoven"
The text is very superficial. It hardly matches the information available on any encyclopedia. The gimmick of pretending to listen to the subject's own words detracts to the credibility and interest of such a concise text. At any rate, onc e this format was chosen, it should have shed som light of how a deaf composer managed to write such masterpieces of music.
"Christopher Columbus"
The text is very superficial. It hardly matches the information available on any encyclopedia. The gimmick of pretending to listen to the subject's own words detracts to the credibility and interest of such a concise text.
"Marie Curie life"
The text is very superficial. It hardly matches the information available on any encyclopedia. The gimmick of pretending to listen to the subject's own words detracts to the credibility and interest of such a concise text. The worth of Mme Curie's discoveries deserved a deeper description.
"Meet Isaac Newton"
The text is very superficial. It hardly matches the information available on any encyclopedia. The gimmick of pretending to listen to the subject's own words detracts to the credibility and interest of such a concise text.
