How Iceland Changed the World: The Big History of a Small Island by Egill Bjarnason
informative
slow-paced
3.25
a very informative look at Iceland’s history and how the country has influenced the world. i just returned from a trip to Iceland and this book complemented everything I learned from the people who call Iceland home! i enjoyed learning more about the country, its people, and its history.
Bjarnason’s humor is a great addition throughout each chapter, but it’s still pretty dry. i think readers who would enjoy this book most are history buffs who plan to visit/have visited Iceland--it's very based in fact, and not every section of every chapter is as engaging. i do think this would work well on audio!
