Juvenile language is offputting.

I lasted about two paragraphs and knew it wasn't going to get better. Horribly juvenile...about 7th grade or so.

I agree. However, it may inspire some 7th graders to seek further historical data. In that way, I believe such things have a place: stoking the interest of the young in a way that is useful. Middle school history teachers the nation over would do well to take a tack similar to this, without the foul language, because the dry and precise language bores the children and causes them to shy away from what is a truly fascinating study. The dry stuff can be introduced for more exact understanding when they have gotten a taste for the knowledge, say, in their freshman year of high school or so. Use the tool for what it is worth, I say. Just a mind-whetter.
