This book is very interesting. It is unbelievable to know that you are reading about the very first civilisation, the Sumerians, who had 39 firsts including the invention of writing, irrigation and the wheel etc. You learn a lot about the different, city-states, kings, wars, gods, creation myths and a lot more etc. A valuable read. I highly recommend!

I have read many books on Sumeria and the Biblical world (Mesopotamia). This book is excellent. Easy to read and very informative. It also contains many helpful illustrations. Recommended.

This is an interesting read, but a bit dry in its telling. While this is a history of The Sumerian Civilisation and no doubt aimed at the Scholastic it needs to be a bit more rounded. Perhaps paint a picture of daily life for all.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book contains some interesting facts but the writing style is unengaging and rather basic. A large collection of facts have been cobbled together, resulting in a book which almost reads like a list, with short sentences and endless figures (areas in both acres and hectares!). Some of the hypotheses are not well evidenced or explained and the book obviously hasn’t been proof read. Considering this is an entry level book, terms and abbreviations would benefit from definitions. A missed opportunity- this could have been a pleasant read with some good editing.

I would highly recommend this book. It was a well written overview of the subject. The maps and pictures let the book down due to their lack of clarity.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great Overview
This book is a general overview of Sumerian history. It isn’t an in-depth, detailed account of the fullness of Sumerian history, but it is definitely informative enough for those who (like myself) have already studied Sumerian history and culture and just need a quick run-through book as this to refresh their memory, or for those who may just be getting started in the subject and need sturdy information to feed their curiosity. Overall, it serves a very practical purpose and is indeed useful.

Good reading but suspicious content
Although I enjoyed reading it, I can’t recommend it to others.The book has no references neither to any author nor to any external resource. It felt so weird reading history with no references. Almost certain that it was written by AI.It very likely contains misinformation as well. Shouldn’t be read as a resource of education.
