Review of 'The house of wisdom' on 'Goodreads'

(More a 3.5, but I'm in a good mood, so rounding up) Some really interesting parts to this, but it's a bit short and could do with some more depth and a bit more historical context. It also ends rather abruptly, and I think would benefit from a more general concluding chapter to draw things together.
