I really enjoyed reading this book; at first. I learned things I never
thought possible. I knew Columbus was a bad man to begin with, and that religion
is the biggest overall problem in history and in the conflict of the story; But I didn’t know
the number of deaths was so incredibly high. I would like to get the chance to
thank Howard Zinn for the knowledge I have gained; I could also say that there are some things I wasn’t happy reading about. I felt
as if he went off topic a little, bringing his own personal feelings into the
story. I don’t like to read about an old mans issues, I get enough of that
at home alone. I think that he tries to import his problems as a way to vent.
It would have been easier to read this book if it was filled with more fact,
rather than opinion. I mean no offence to anyone who likes to read Zinn; but if
you like his work you should be able to handle a little opinion.
Thank you
