Tebal namun menarik. Dengan teknik membaca cepat, buku ini boleh dibilang adalah buku sejarah yang tidak membosankan. Kemampuan Raffles menggali informasi sangat mengagumkan. Sifat dan budaya orang Jawa digambarkan cukup pas dan seperti tak berubah dari masa ke masa. Sejarahnya pun diceritakan sejak
