<p>I was just curious to know if anyone else here has to read this book for the class. Thanks!</p>

2

<p>I do! The reviews on Amazon don’t look promising but anything is better than Guns, Germs, and Steel that the AP World has to read!</p>

<p>HAve you started reading it?</p>

<p>Read it (more like had it) a few years back when I took AP Euro as a summer reading assignment. One of the most boring tragic books you’ll ever read in your life. There’s no plot, nothing, just random blurbs of random ass events that you wouldn’t know about because you haven’t taken AP Euro yet. Quite honestly, I read the first 50 pages of the book and stopped because I had no idea what was going on. This would hold true for about 90% of my class also.</p>

<p>Perhaps now, after taking European History, I would appreciate the book a bit more. But as a lower class men reading this book before taking Euro, I felt like it did nothing for me.</p>

<p>I haven’t started it! I’ve been working on English and gov’t assignments. I have the same concerns^. I took AP World and got a 5 but i’m worried that i’m not going to know about the events they’re talking about and so it will be hard to follow.</p>

<p>Boring book with a flawed argument. Do you have to answer the same selection of questions that every AP Euro teacher steals from the Internet and hands out? If so, this should help.</p>

<p>Ha, interesting, never read it. We had to read out of the textbook for summer homework last year when I took AP Euro.</p>

8

<p>I read it. I actually enjoyed it, even though most of my classmates didn’t. It made me interested in watching The Borgias. </p>

<p>I’m selling my copy (I’m out of room on my bookshelf!). PM me if you’re interested.</p>

9

<p>I didn’t read it. I had to answer the same set of questions that every Euro teacher steals from the web, so I just went to Amazon and typed in the key words. </p>

<p>E.g. I would type in “the back of a horse” and Amazon would show me a preview blurb usually with the answer right there in the blurb ;).</p>

<p>In any case, I didn’t read it. I still kicked ass in AP Euro though and most likely scored a 5 on the AP itself ;).</p>

<p>I had to read it for AP Euro. VERY tedious and not amazingly helpful for the course.</p>
