2.0 out of 5 stars Great subject matter, too bad its so poorly written., September 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Made in Hungary (Hardcover)

A tribute to Hungary's best and brightest deserves cogent writing. In Made in Hungary, Mr. Simon, fails to even utilize basic English grammer. The errors are too common, too glaring and time and time again I found myself wondering who could have edited and published a book with so many obvious errors. In addition, throughout thebook Mr. Simon makes numerous unsupportable and sometimes outrageous statements. My advice is to pass this book up and wait until someone with some writing ability tackles the subject.

This review is from: Made in Hungary (Hardcover)

This book is excellent! I wanted to learn more about Hungary, its history, its ways, its contributions to the world, and this book covers it.

It begins with a historical perspective, 'Milestones of Progress', and then covers Hungary's impact from the Arts and Social Sciences to Engineering, and even Sports. It is not a 'cover to cover' read, but can be read either a chapter at a time, or as a reference book to look up information as needed.

If you are looking for a book that covers Hungary from an interesting and to the point perspective, this is it!
