Title: Read This First
Product review: I wish I had read "The Wild Side of Geoarchaeology Page", a web site maintained by Paul V. Heinrich, before buying this book. Like many reviewers, I was impressed by the "evidence" quoted in the book and the detailed references. But sadly Hancock's research seems to break down when those references are critically investigated. Finally, I am puzzled by the comments about the quality of the writing. I found it plodding, burdened by whimsical speculation and pointless introspection. Many times I wondered what the manuscript looked like before the editors went to work.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
