Title: Lacking in substance
Review: As I read the book from its beginning, page after page, I grew increasingly impatient for some substantive treatment of Vodou. Instead, I found myself wading through a poor recounting of the history of Hispaniola for far too long. I was quite disappointed by the cursory explanations offered about Vodou, its pantheon of lwa, its ceremonies, and its adherents. After what I hoped was just the start of the "meat" of the book, it came to an abupt end and dumped me into the "Documents" section. As I should have noticed from the Table of Contents before buying the book on-line, a big chunk of the book is "Documents". Sa pa gen anyen landann l.
