Negative Positive
Title: Interesting but unconvincing
Review: Having read Charles Hapgood's "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings," I was fully prepared to accept Menzies' thesis that the Chinese discovered America in 1421. However, his evidence is circumstantial and it is strung together by speculation and conjecture. Not only is his thesis unsupported, his reasoning is faulty, his thinking muddled, and his prose dull. There are also numerous factual errors in the book. The Chinese may have discovered America, but Menzies doesn't prove it.
Is the review positive or negative?
