Book Report

The book I have been reading for the past two weeks is called Don’t Know Much About History. The book is a recap of important events in American history and some small factoids about people in history. The author of the Kenneth C. Davis did a good job of turning text book material into an interesting read. I always found colonial America to be very boring but after I read this book it made the making of our country so much more interesting then I had previously thought it was. The author of the book did so much more then just covers the facts he also covered different theories about certain events. The book looked into different people who made have discovered the Americans besides the Indians. For example one of the theories is that they Irish may have came to America on small boats. This theory is not widely accepted because of the lack of proof but it’s still interesting to know about American history. Besides the book telling you about different events it even told you different books to read on the subject if you wanted to have deeper understanding.
