This review is from: Aztecs and Spaniards (Hardcover)
This book gives some fascinating information about the daily life of the Aztecs and their neighbors before the Spanish conquest. Marrin succeeds at writing in an unbiased manner, even when it comes to describing horrifying events such as Aztec ritual human sacrifice. The narrative moves along quickly and every sentence is interesting. I often felt I was reading a gripping novel instead of a history book. There are also quite a few photos, maps and drawings.
