Title: Don't bother
Product review: If you want something based on what Maya culture is actually like, don't pick this book up. This book is about Pinchbeck's personal life (particularly how he is unfaithful to his partner, doesn't feel loved by any woman, and how women have screwed him over his whole life), various conspiracy theories, and him traveling the world taking various drugs. At the end of the book, after getting pretty much everything wrong about Maya and Maya culture, he proclaims himself to be the return of Quetzalcoatl (an Aztec deity, FYI). Sorry to spoil the ending, but if you want to waste time and money reading a 400 page whack jobs rantings and a 10 page "message" from Quetzalcoatl, go ahead. Had I not had to read this for school, I would have quit reading long before the ending of the book.
