I have to agree with the previous reviewer - this book did my head in in less than 15 minutes. The reviewer who gave up after 20 minutes deserves a medal.

Dull

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This audio book sounds like a presentation based on a template with sometimes missing or partially simplified content. Some of content is misleading. As an example the book talks about people coming from Scandinavia to Norway as if Norway is not Scandinavia. The presentation of the Vikings is presented as if there was a special people being the Vikings. Being on viking was a habit, driven originally by the needs of the local people - which then became a tradition or habit. Additionally we know from genetic research that the participants on viking raids were from all area of the North Sea and the bordering countries.
All this made the book disappointing.

Not the most accurate presenation of the history of Norway

The information regarding the history is there but often told in an overly simplistic manner with sweeping generalizations. The language is often odd, as if the text was taken from an online translation. Eventually these annoyances overwhelmed this listener and I gave up.
