Moderately Better (eBook review) I had read two other previous books by these supposed history nerds, and they did not impress me. So I wasn't expecting much from this book, but I had selected them all around the same time at one of my favorite book review sites, so I was going to forge ahead. I am glad I did. This one is moderately better than the other ones, though it did have issues with awkward language and incorrect capitalization. I actually found it a fun read. I spent six weeks in Ireland back in the early ‘90s, going to school at Trinity College for six weeks in the summer. The book brought back a few memories of places I'd been and concepts we talked about in classes. An enjoyable quick read about key points in Irish history and culture. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
