This was a wonderful about this history of Vikings and the Viking Era. It was very interesting to hear how little written word there is from them so we have to rely on highly advanced scientific methods to piece it together.

I felt that while some parts were accurate to the time period, the author's portrayal of women was not. To me it seemed she put a very Christian centric patriarchal view of women when that wasn't the case in the actual Viking Era. Didn't ring true, couldn't finish.

Matthew Perry was one of my favorite actors. This just made me alternating mad and sad. More sad than anything because of the awful obstacles he was given. I highly recommend the audiobook as he narrates it himself, it was good to hear his voice.

For some reason I found this book a bit less engaging than her first book, The Kiss Quotient. It was fun and light hearted but something that I can't quite define yet was missing for me.
