These were all gotten as kindle freebies.

The best two are the one about Werewolves and the Catacombs because they offer the must in the terms of facts, and move beyond the general.

The other three aren't bad, but short, simple, and general.

The Lalibela Churches one is Charles River Editors at their best.  It is packed with information and photos.  I learned things.

The Bradstreet one isn't bad, and is in fact, a good overview for a student.

Picked these up when they were offered for free, last year occurring to Amazon.  

The Suleiman one is the better of the two.  I did want more information about his wives, but it is a good introduction.   3 stars.

Guangzhou is more European centric than I liked.  I understand that it was a trade center, but I learned more about how it effected the Europeans than the Chinese.  Strange considering where the city is located.

The Harriet Fox about Gilbert Paul Jordan is good.  It has much information as Harriet Fox could find. The writing is good. The case overview is fine. I just wish there had been a bit more about the possibility that the backgrounds of the women whom he killed and whether their race and/or case had something to do with the lack of a case or investigation. (three stars)

As for the Charles River Editors book.  The stand out is the one about Akhenaten and Amarna which includes a detailed analysis of the queens of the time.  The Serveran and Gurkhas ones (4 and 3 stars) are good overviews.

Of these four, the best is the one about Ypres.  It is the most profession and engaging. (four stars)

The other ones aren't bad, but they aren't particularly good.  The Venice on is little more than a biography of Marco Polo, and the constant neglect of spelling out numbers ten and below is pissing me off.
