The condescending tone all but disappears when Weiss reads, and he makes it sound the the exciting story history should be. It's probably best enjoyed by the young and the old—teenagers, although most could benefit greatly from this overview of history, will probably think themselves too sophisticated to enjoy something designed for elementary school students.</p>
