Good points / bad points:

I am a huge fan of Essex and its history. I became interested in this county when I first moved there. Since then, I have moved out but the passion remained. The book was absolutely incredible and I loved that I could see how did the cities changed through years. I was most amazed to see and read the history of cities such as Colchester or Ilford.
