A review by hiltzmoore
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

2.0

This was well written and did a great job of covering a LOT of science history, but I learned something while reading it - I don't really like science. I only made it through all the science I had to take in school because I liked the hands on experiments. The theory was not really my thing, and that was the entirety of this book. I did really enjoy the last section, as it reminded me of the Anthropology classes I took in college, which were always interesting to me. It just seemed like the rest of the book was all about arguing super scientists. If that is your thing, it is a great book. So this two star rating should be caveated to say "two stars for me, since it just wasn't my thing."
