Excellent book that is very interesting and I do recommend it. For me however I gave it 3 stars as there was too much detail which for me slowed the pace down a bit by half way through. But others will undoubtedly love this level of detail. Interesting to read about the Mafia horse eat scam in the early 19th century America only to find from the news that Europe might now have a criminal horse meat scam as I type this!!!! There is a lot of information about human nature and how this can change as generations pass which is very insightful. There is a lot to be learnt form this book.
