Review: The Early Chinese Empires: Qin and Han

The Early Chinese Empires: Qin and Han The Early Chinese Empires: Qin and Han by Mark Edward Lewis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not sure how much I liked this the second time around. Plenty of information (probably the most comprehensive out there for this time period in English), but it seems haphazard at best. As another reviewer pointed out, there is next to nothing about the Yellow Turban revolt, but plenty of information regarding somewhat esoteric topics (probably very interesting to the scholar, but not so much to the layperson who is trying to get the general information before getting the details). 

Anyway, I'll leave it at four stars for now.
