Review: Though this book contains a good few interesting snippets of information, the organisation of the into sections seems confused and repetitive. We are given the same information (about flinging the windows open to rush out the old year before letting in the new, for example) over and over again. We are also introduced to the same notions and characters (historical and fictional) repeatedly, but often the first explanation is glossed over and then revisited with some actual context only some time later. The writing also seems a little amateurish in places: ‘and we can only guess what the ‘early Christians/Royal Family/old gods would think of that!’ appears to end most observations. Perhaps a book to pick up and flick to a random page of, but read linearly, on Kindle, it’s not quite working.
