The key topics were the relationship between the Pilgrims and the Natives, the diseases they suffered from and the weather in New England and how it affected their ability to settle. I think it was very interesting to hear about because its what the weathers like here in Massachusetts only we have better protection from it. It was very clear what the main topics were cause everything worked its way back to them.
I liked his writing style because it was less of a textbook and more of a very detailed story. It did get confusing at parts because it would seem like he'd go off on a tangent about some small detail which I thought made it unclear sometimes.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about where we live or just enjoys history. It isn't a book that would be painfully boring to read so I think even other high schoolers might enjoy it but it seems to be aimed at slightly older people.
