However, it seemed like the author was trying too hard at times to be scholarly and included information into the narrative that sometimes didn't seem to need to be there. Intricate details about place names and life histories of very minor individuals in the narrative bogged down the reading considerably. There was also a focus on certain individuals to the detriment of other story lines. The balance between the different stories the author was trying to tell was very skewed. I'll admit that I skimmed some sections of the narrative that dealt with character owning too big a presence in the book.
When it comes down to it, this is a fairly good book on this subject, one of the few I know of. It is definitely well researched and reads, for the most part, smoothly. There are some pacing issues and instances where the author puts way too much information into the book. Yet, I found myself enjoying the reading experience and learning something too.
