The best way I can describe this book is "odd." Perhaps I do not know enough about the history of the country to have enjoyed it as much as I should, but it was not one of my favorites. I think my biggest disappointment is that I was hoping for a more philosophical book than what the author provided. However, it was not miserable to read and there were bits of it that I liked. One that I am glad to have read but am not sad to pass on.
Same author as The Unberable Lightness of Being which was very hot on the bestseller list.
