I thought I should toss out the name Kurt_Messick, if you want to read a good epinioneer for non-fiction, he's one of the best.

I'll be happy to re-rate if you rewrite.

Hi there,

I have to agree with dragonfire...adding a some more details about the actual book would be a very good update. More details on the subject matter and maybe give some examples. You might also want to include more of your opinion and thoughts about the book.

Good luck...and if you update, please send me the link so that I may read again.

Hi and Welcome (Reply to this comment)

this is a good start, but as pointed out by another poster, there are some things missing from your review that, if added, would make a huge difference. My best suggestion is that you take the time to read some of the book reviews by epinions members such as Gracef or Jankp to get an idea of what should go into a book review.

If you add more information to this review let me know and I'll re-evaluate the review.

The review needs some more information about the book to be more helpful.
Talk a little more about the type of information that is in the book. How is the book divided up? Chapters? Sections? What did you like and dislike about the book? Why should someone read the book? Who do you think should read it? Is it well written? Descriptive? Expand on your thoughts about the book a bit more.

If you update, email me the URL and I'll re read.

I checked out this book before, it's amazing how Hanawalt note's such details as the terrible population reduction that resulted from the Black Death and how it did not alter the basic nature of the family. Interesting book!
