very informative. I really enjoyed the stories about George Washington, these were things that I was never taught, and it was nice to hear such things existed.

1494 really pulls together world history, geography, politics and religious treaties.  It allowed me to make connections I had wondered about but never knew were due to the Treaty of Tordesillas.

The book provided me with some historical information that I didn't know about...even though it was historical fiction.  Interesting read.

Nicely condensed series of historical events.  Picked up a few things that I must have missed in History class -- or have forgotten.  Enjoyed it a lot.

There were so many historical events that I didn't know about before reading this book. Apparently most people didn't know. It kept my attention throughout.

This book helped me understand a series of conflicts of which I was lacking knowledge of. I feel less ignorant to the subject now.

Good but can be monotonous at times. I did love learning of a part of history that was very new to me.

I was in Iraq for some of the events written about in this work. That said, I knew little about details written during the time I was on the trail of one of the people in this book. I feel some of it was probably classified at the time, but the detail surely gives me a better appreciation for history of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I really enjoyed reading this book.
