Book Reviews of Belize: A Concise History
Book Review: Thoroughly dry
Summary: 3 Stars
I checked this book out as destination reading before my trip to Belize. Peter Thomson was British High Commissioner for a time, so is well qualified to speak on his subject. Yet perhaps it is because he was a politician that his account is such a dry read. It's quite thorough but the language didn't have enough liveliness to prompt me to finish the book. It reads as if he is writing in an official capacity, and so cannot put more personality into it. It's also rather academic, something suggested in the forward.
