Title: Intellectual, but lacking
Product review: After reading his earlier book, "Bosnia: A Short History", which was excellent, I did have high expectations for this book. What I was left with was a feeling that this was rushed out to make a profit from the war.I found a very intellectual book, very focused on the linguistic parts of the culture.Short of one or two chapters, which are excellent, this book will not assist most people in understanding the area better, nor the culture. If you are going to the area, I cannot recommend this book as a good resource. If you are a student of languages, you will love it.
