Summary
If you want to discover the captivating history of England, then pay attention...
There are few places that entice the imagination quite like England. Just a little island off the western coast of continental Europe, it boasts a rich history that stretches all the way back to the first modern humans.
Since then, entire societies have risen and fallen as people learned to make flint and bone tools, bury their dead, and fortify their cities against foreign raiders.
From the fearsome Celtic warriors of prehistory to the clever inventors and statesmen of the modern era, England’s story is one bursting with magnificent castles, complex kings and queens, rebellious peasants, and horrifying plagues.
Throughout history, more people have called England home than perhaps most of us have ever realized.

Some things are wrong.
Aside from the narration being a bit monotonous, there are some things wrong. For example Roman emperor Claudius was not emperor Caligula's brother, but rather his uncle.

Good and very informative
very educational and informative my only criticism is that the American narrator doesn't pronounce thing properly such as the names of the counties which I know might sound a bit petty but after a while it just gets a little annoying to me

Worst book I've ever listened to
The text is about the quality you would expect from a year 9 history assignment. The narrator is terrible. He is of asian decent and has either never heard a lot of names or just ignores how they are pronounced and comes up with his own. The worst is the ARC-Bishop of Canterbury, Anne Bow-Leen, Chamberleen.
Don't waste your time - its a waste of 3 hours

A Great Book
Reading this history of England shows just how much of modern fantasy books pull from English history. Amazing to see just how violent the past really was.

Enjoyed It
I enjoyed the book. I love history and this period of English history is not an area I am familiar with. The author is relentless in disparaging the Catholics and I suppose some would be put off by that. A good audiobook.

Although history is very interesting, the text itself is the best part of this book: Hume could write about how to cook soup, still I'm sure he would make it worth reading. He definitely produced the best English texts I've ever read, this is a great example of his work and, although it is a history book, it reads as easily as the best romances do.

Enlightening
Brought many new things to light for me regarding the early English and where they really came from. Some times confusing due to the use of the same names for different people. I realize they did this to show lineage. I recommend it for people who like a long read of early English history.
