Title: A Big YAWN !
Review: I'm sorry, but this book is 10 percent story and 90 percent encyclopedia. If you removed all of the tedious regurgitation of information, you'd be left with about twenty pages of plot in a very long book.I don't get the appeal, and would be more likely to go for this if it were Brown writing non-fiction travel/historical books.Page after page after page of facts. Ugh. Even if some of the facts are interesting (and this certainly is the case)- they should have been force-fed to us in smaller doses, in abbreviated versions, so that readers could remember what the actual plot was supposed to be.
Is the review positive or negative?
