Blog Tour Review The writing was light with a mix of word difficulty levels. I liked that in the corner of a couple of the pages there was a little box with an explanation of the trickier words. I enjoyed that the overall feeling of the book was that you were being directly spoken to, which made you feel more involved. Generally the writing was in little paragraphs all over the page which made it more engaging and less overwhelming than some non fiction books can be. I did sometimes find that I had read things out of order, but it didn't matter too much. It was very much a dip in and out of book with a lovely timeline at the end to summarise what we had read about. I was quite happy to sit and read it for long periods of time. The font used was clear and easy to read. It was black in colour and then had a different coloured background depending on which bit of the picture it was explaining. Each page was beautifully illustrated with a scene spreading both pages from a specific period of time. There was just enough detail to give a clear indication of what you were looking at without being too overwhelming. It was nice to be able to take in little bits of the scene at a time. Parts of the illustration were then annotated with little paragraphs. Whilst the writing was all over the place, it was entertaining and explained part of the illustration well. There was a good flow to the book. Each time period that we were looking at felt carefully picked and every so often there were nice archaeological tips to break it up. It all seemed to go well together, and as I said above, I appreciated the timeline at the end to summarise the book. Overall it was a nice, accessible book that really promoted a love of archaeology.
