Here, National Book Award winner Richard Winston explores life in the Middle Ages - from the fifth to the 15th centuries - beginning with the fall of the Roman Empire and ending with the dawn of the Renaissance. In both countryside and cities, from the peasants to the bourgeoisie to the nobility, no aspect of life in this era is left unexplored.

great story. however the monotonous sonaral cadence of the reader's narrative almost made me stop listening after each sentence. I will not purchase another book read by this guy. none, regardless of the topic.

great info clouded by narrative

I loved the description of peasant living and the descriptions of life passed down from people actually living in the middle ages.

Reader is very hard to understand. Cadence and accent are difficult to follow and comprehend.

Interesting material

Certainly there is charm in the tales of medieval castles and chivalrous knights, but the middle ages were also brutal and stinky, full of disease and death. This book provides an interesting yet sobering view of what life was like during this period in European history.

There was a lot of general information but it was very, very dry. My mind wandered and didn't re-engage much because none of it was very startling, new, or interesting. May be good for a beginner in a classroom where children are held captive (wink) and accustomed to boredom. I finished it by listening to fall asleep.

This could be more accurately titled Some Stuff I Know about the Middle Ages. It reads like a list of facts with some anecdotes thrown in. There's no plot, structure, or thesis to hold the book together. Would've liked to return it but I bought it separately rather than with a credit. :(
