This book is none of the things said on the tin: brief, irreverent, or pleasurable. It was incoherent, and fell into the horrible default state of crappy history books: a long Biblical-style list of undifferentiated kings with minor facts about them, vs. illustrating actual long-term trends using the individual examples.

The title sums it up. I enjoyed this book.
