Most history books are written in a monotone voice and many of them are also white-washed. But this book is very different from normal history because it sparks the mind for new thoughts and new possibilities, or what could have happened.This book is pretty amazing from the story of what could happen to the Mayflower to other unimagineable things that could pop up into the mind. I liked this book very much, but the only downside is that sometimes the essays and stories get a bit dull at times.
