Book Reviews of Cartoon History of the Universe 1 Vol. 1-7 (Cartoon History of the Universe) (Pt.1)
Book Review: Wow! If only high school/college history had been this fun and insightful
Summary: 5 Stars
You know it takes a comic to get to heart of humanity. In most history books you get a narrow point of view, and one that is usually "politically correct" according to the standards of the day. By making a comic version of history, the author can get around all of the "PC"ness of most history books and really hit home with the way humanity *is* and *always was.* The "sheep love" of early humans was a laugh riot. I never learned so much while having such a good time.
I recommend these for history buffs and non-history buffs. Really it's just a good read period. Forget that it's history.
