## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An interesting book
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 May 2014*

This is indeed an interesting book and for the most part I enjoyed it. I didn't find it a particularly easy read, however. With the enormous cast of characters hard to keep track of and the author's sometimes convoluted grammar necessitating the rereading of numerous sentences. It would also benefit from some maps.The time period that the book covers is quite narrow and it has left me wanting to find out what happened next. One book leads to another, c'est la vie.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Readable and informative narrative history of the founding of Australia.
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 May 2020*

Really enjoyed this history of the first British settlers of Australia. Very readable and informative. Scores of different characters but so well written that you stay adrift of who is who. Some heroes, such as Phillip, and some villains (but these are rarely the convicts as you might have expected).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Too much detail, but had to be said.
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 December 2012*

This is a really well researched book. (Amazon should make sure it pays its taxes in UK). The detail is incredible and makes you feel you really understand what things were like in the 1780s. The plight of the aborigines is dealt with, and the deeds of the key characters are insightfully described without too many assumptions. It's a long read with much detail, but a super introduction to the first years of the British colonization.
