Negative Positive
Title: Groundbreaking, but not readable
Review: I recently bought this book because of what seemed to be endless recommendations from professors and Amazon readers. I was, however, disappointed when I opened it. I read the first 200 pages, inching my way forward, dismayed since the cover reviews included words like "inspiring", "page turning" and "ground-breaking." The material is that of a science journal, and the prose mimics that of an economic one.I have skipped this book on my list, which distresses me since this is that first time that I have actually put down a book in the middle of reading it. Maybe when I feel braver (or read a few more economic journals for preperation) I will finish it. In the meantime, I recommend the book "Guns, Germs and Steel" as a substitute.
Is the review positive or negative?
