ll written, colorful, and exciting. Alan Priest of the “New York Times” wrote, “Mr. Creel produced a most interesting study of the life and culture of a civilization…” Mr. Priest was not alone in his review of the book. Yet, another review of this book comes from and unknown author with “Time” magazine. He writes, “Dr. Creel summarizes like a scholar…his account of Chinese history couldn’t have been more exciting and compelling.”I am no history expert, but as far as I can tell this book was well written and researched. I really enjoyed reading it and would recommend it for educational purposes as well as reading on a personal level. My favorite thing about this book is that Creel’s personal views sometimes came out in his writing. This created a very humorous affect on the somewhat humorless story of the birth of China....
