3.0 out of 5 stars Well documented, but BORING, September 17, 2007
By 
Chaotic Mind "Rich" (Pleasant Gap, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Harem: Inside the Grand Seraglio of the Turkish Sultans (Paperback)
This would be an excellent book for a college course on Turkish history, but if you are looking for an interesting book- MOVE ALONG.

This book is so incredibly boring to read, it'll put you down like a baseball bat.

Other than that- it's well written and very concise. Do not expect anything racy or sexy. It treats sex like a seventh grade health course.

The book also does not deal with the Harem entirely. It covers the palace of the Sultan, which the Harem is only one part. So don't expect an entire book on slave girls. It covers everything else and only spends part of the book on the women themselves.

I have this book and I'm looking for another book to supplement it.
