Again, lots of information, just not collected in an engaging read.… (mehr)

I agree that the prose is hardly scintillating, but Kann is thorough. Also, I appreciate the fact that he surveys the history and culture of all the nations in the Empire. In my (informal) study of Central Europe, I have found this book to be extremely useful, if not indispensable, and I continue to refer to it. But it's not good bedtime reading, unless you need a soporific.

Imagine, if you will, the most boring thing you can think of. Now picture the most boring person you know.

Imagine that person talking about that thing for well on 700 pages.
