The writing is even but a little unimaginative. As I said this is an overview so interesting and personal details are left out. This is a book of reference so would be valuable for the writing of papers on the subject but it does lack in reading pleasure. I will not be buying the other four books in the series (they are expensive). I can recommend it for reference purposes.
