A History of the Jews Audiobook

" The chapters were a bit exhausting at times (as perhaps they must be, with so much history to cover), but it was a worthwhile and enlightening read. "

" I wish every Christian would read this and understand your part in it. "

" While there are certainly more in-depth treatments of this vast topic, Johnson is excellent at providing a big picture view. "

" I have always been in love with the world of Judaism. I was told by someone I met in a chat room to read this. I enjoyed it. It's history, but not as dry as you'd think. "

" It is a bit dry at some areas but generally I liked it. Very interesting on how Jews came to be... "

" This isn't the type of book I just sit and read through. I consider it somewhat of a reference book and I really do like Paul Johnson as a writer. I like his perspective and approach. "

" Incredibly informative for anyone who wants to get an understanding of the place Jews hold in today's world. "

" Big book on Jewish history. Well written and an interesting read. "

" This is a large epic volume on God's Chosen People. "

" Very informative but extremely long. I made it to the 19th century and gave up on it. This book provides fine detail of the history of Jews. Too much detail for my taste. I would prefer something with more generalizations. "

" Packed with info, but not encyclopedic; insightful "

" its informative but overly detailed "

" Liked the sentiments- but not robust "

" Took me several years to read in its entirety . Glad I did it because I learned a lot about the Middle East as well. "

" This book took me a solid 5 months to read, but it was worth it. Mr. Johnson feels most comfortable inciting riots and stirring controversy. Brilliant read. "

" This book was a delight to read and contained so much useful information that I bought an ebook version. "

" An excellent small biography of a very interesting and influential man. "

" This is the third biography of Churchill I have read but there were still new facts and infomation I did not get from the others. Althugh short, it is well written and provides a really good overview of the life of this talented and incredibly productive individual. "

" Churchill was an interesting man and it was good to see into some of his private life. I would have liked to see more quotes from this man who did so much for his country during World War II. "

" This was an interesting biography in that it was short and not full of details, yet wove a fascinating picture of a great leader. It was more of an analysis of his character and what made him successful. I enjoyed it. "

" Wonderful and quick biography with great literary merit. "

" One of the best biographies I've read. "

" We are all worms. But, I think that I am a glow worm. -WC "

" Good thing about the book -- it's short. Bad thing about the book -- it's short.... "

" A short but interesting biography of Churchill by an historian that knew him. Johnson is an excellent historian and biographer. I only wish he had offered a more complete volume on the life of Churchill. The most consequential ginger of all time. "

" Johnson paints a vivid portrait of a man determined to be accepted and praised. Fascinating time period and very well researched. Would have given it a 5 had it not been for the author's pompousness, which was distracting from the incredible topic at hand. "

" Excellent short biography by a historian whose personal experience adds insight to understanding Churchill. "
