This Kelly Mass is smart

I am sure she's done a lot of research on the topic of African mythology, and she has done an excellent job of organizing all that information. I was intrigued. Good job.

Another cool book

This "Summaries from History" series is something I'm going to follow. I've seen a few books about the Roman Empire come by, and maybe one or two others. Definitely up my alley. The African mythology one is interesting. Thanks.

Interesting

There is lots to learn about African history and mythology. A lot of people don't really study it. This is what I was looking for. It did NOT disappoint.

Good mythology book

It's an interesting principle, the whole premise of this book. You don't typically see that in other books. And that's why it can use an individual like me to compose a few positive things about it.
