Soliman and the Ottomans

Andre Colt is type of writer that takes you to the middle action and life of the people he writes about. His style is very easy to read, and almost like telling stories. I enjoyed reading this book. He covers the whole life of Soliman from his birth to his death. The book also includes description of the Ottoman civilization. This is a good book if you want to read some thing easy to read, and basic about Soliman and the Ottoman history. However if you are familiar with the Ottoman history this book is not for you.
