The first lecture starts out a bit dry, but stick with it - the subject matter is fascinating and the lecturer's enthusiasm for it is infectious.

Fascinating information, provided in an entertaining manner. I have no idea if the theories put forward are valid or not, but they're certainly interesting.

Disappointing if you were expecting anything new. Based on the description, I thought there were going to be more excerpts from her speeches, etc., i.e. "in her own words". It's a superficial and quite fawning bio. It's getting difficult to rely on the quality of PBS documentary - their imprimatur used to almost guarantee quality, now some of their offerings are just breathlessly-narrated rehashes. This one falls into the latter category.Disappointing if you were expecting anything new.

I thought Fergal Keane's approach was fresh, and his interviews engaging. This was entertaining and educational, although of course the modern bits were shaded more to one side than the other.

Great story-telling, done at a good pace and in an acceptable level of detail for a survey course. I particularly liked the compare-and-contrast between contemporary cultures. Dr A also addresses the issue of women in these lectures, even when the best that can be said is that they are missing from the records.Great story-telling, done at a good pace and in an acceptable level of detail for a survey course.

How good was this book? It's written in slang and dialect, and I usually hate that. It worked here.
