## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Remarkably erudite yet also remarkably boring
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 June 2021*

The book is remarkably erudite and predictably well researched a marathon through history in the search of that phylum of constitutional arrangements, yet I found it remarkably boring.  The prose is turgid and it reminded me of those tomes that I was forced to read at university,  with little enjoyment, yet persuaded by a tutor that they had to be read and digested, just like sprouts are supposed to be good for you...  There are fleeting, occasional flashes of curios anecdotal evidence that momentarily awaken you from the torpor of legalistic description of constitutional arrangements, but these are insufficient from turning this book into a good read, aside from its obvious academic value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Magisterial review of the evolution of constitutions
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2022*

Well written and well edited (I'm 2/3rds through and have found no editing errors) this sweeps across world history from the 18th Century to the present examining the way in which war on land and sea and the resulting political disturbance has encouraged the writing of formal consitutions in literate societies.  It sweeps across the whole globe taking in polities both large and very, very small.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well worth the read
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2021*

Very engagingly written book, with a sweeping scope. Fascinating read.
