The Ancient World in 100 Words: Start Conversations and Spark Inspiration by Clive Gifford

3.0

This was a fast read but it was too focused on the Egyptian, Roman and Greek history which consisted mostly of already known facts about them. Though despite not knowing much about the Phoenician and Minoans, there were just 3-4 pages about them while the other 3 was around 30 pages each.

Another issue I had were some grammatical mistakes but otherwise this book was good and a fast read since each page consisted of 100 words only. I've read another review that mentions that there are more stuff known that could fit more pages and some discrepancies.

Overall, this would be a good read for children who haven't read much history to be able to enjoy it more than I have.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.
