- You are looking for real events explained without too much jargon.
- When you enjoy layered mysteries, imagery and detail are abundant, creating vivid scenes that stay with you long after you finish reading.

- You want a reference book rather than a regular read.
- When you want clear moral lines, the prose lingers on setting and tone, sometimes at the expense of forward momentum.
