This book had some really beautiful moments, and I especially liked the chapter about the flea that travels across oceans and brings the plauge with it.
Otherwise the book was okay, I was bored and ready for it to be over by the end of the book, nothing particularly wrong with it but I could have just done with less of it, by the end I was rushing through.
