The Shortest History of Music is an interesting book packed with information. The book looks extensively at the history of music from the earlies known music until the present. The book included relevant quotes and photos as well. While I was impressed by the book and the amount I was able to learn about music, it was so information dense that at times it become a little overwhelming. I feel like this is a book that you could read multiple times and learn more each time. I think that everyone could learn something about this book no matter what type of music you listen to. I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about a topic that interests me.
