2 out of 5 stars Neither one thing nor...   January 20, 2008
The bulk of this book is the author's history of Britain. No doubt fun for him to write, but if I wanted a popular history, I'd go for Starkey, Schama, etc.
The interleaved episodes refer back to the programs in the previous series of WDYTYA - unfortunately, they are only thin reminders of those stories and don't tell the people's stories nor help anyone understand the Family History side.
Yes, there's a list of contacts and odd things, but nothing that can't be gained from Google, GenUKI, Cyndi's List, etc.



2 out of 5 stars Basically an 11 year old's history book...   May 1, 2007
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I think I must have ordered this book based on the incorrect review mentioned below. It certainly isn't the valuable resource I expected (in fairness I haven't inspected the last chapter yet where all the links & resources are listed); it is basically a (very) potted history of Britain and mostly of England. It reminds me of a school history book where the lives and achievements of the Kings and Queens are glossed over simply for young readers. This is a classic TV spin-off for merchandising purposes only.


2 out of 5 stars All gloss - no substance   February 10, 2007
 14 out of 16 found this review helpful

As a general read and as an "add-on" to the recent TV series, this is an interesting book but as a useful geanealogy research reference book, it is practically useless. It is little more than a glossy companion to a TV series but for any serious researcher, the advice must be - look elsewhere.


5 out of 5 stars Wrong book   November 5, 2006
 30 out of 37 found this review helpful

The other review on this page does not refer to the advertised book. It refers to a completely different book. This book was published in Sept 2006 and the review was written in Oct 2004. Say no more. Please make this clear on the page or remove it.
