Wicked History: Napoleon by Goldberg & Izkowitz

After I completed reading Wicked history - Alexander the great I became intrigued with this series as the historical factor was interesting and I enjoyed it. As I was looking for another book to read I came upon wicked history - Napoleon Emperor and Conqueror by Kimberly Heuston. The book itself fits into historical type genre as it is usually goes through the life of a prominent historical figure. I enjoyed the Alexander the Great one quite a lot so I anticipated similar things but ended up being disappointing. The book itself objectively I can see being interesting I feel though I just not really enjoy what was happening and did not care much about it. there is no glaring issue or bad moments it is all just a bit boring and felt written more in the style of a history textbook instead of coherent story. I would recommend not really recommend this to anyone endless you care about this specific time of history and I would rather say to read a different wicked history as they seem more interesting.

A Wicked History - Napoleon Emperor and Conqueror by Kimberley Heuston was the book I was reading. This book is very interesting and fun to read as there are so many key and exiting parts throughout the book that you are waiting to see what happens. The parts like this could be when they are planning for a war or what they are doing, possibly even the war that was being set. Those parts were also the best parts for me. The genre to this book is definitely Non-Fiction as it tells about somethings that happened in the past that are true. The book is interesting although some parts made me a bit bored. When it got into an exiting part, it gave me attention to the book as I couldn't stop reading. In this book the vocabulary is not hard as I could read it smoothly and nicely I would just say the big words were hard for me to understand as they were related to what they were talking about. Overall this book for me is 4/5 as it was interesting and fun to read. I would recommend this book to people who like Non-Fiction books or like wars and the process of going into it. (Jackson.

A Wicked History- Napoleon Emperor and Conqueror by Kimberley Heuston. This book is about the French empire before, while and after Napoleon was in command. This book is obviously non fiction as it is about Napoleon which is non fiction. I chose this book as I was interested in what Napoleon did and his history. This book was a great starter for learning about him and what he did although, it didn't go into a lot of detail until the end of the book. After reading this book I would love to read a more detailed book on Napoleon and his empire. The language is easy apart from a few old fashioned words. If you want to know the main things about Napoleon but not completely interested in him I would defiantly recommend this book to you. I would defiantly read some of the other Wicked History books and after that I would decide if I want to find a more detailed book on them. Overall I loved this book and it defiantly made me amazed by what Napoleon did coming from a small island. I would defiantly recommend this book to people who like non fiction and action. (Monty.
