Negative Positive
Title: Long, dry, and disappointing
Review: It is very frustrating to give this book 2 stars because it deserves more. The concept and scope of the book is fascinating, however, the execution leave much to be desired. In talking with several people about this book we all came to the same conclusion, the book is too long. Diamond repeatedly brings up interesting points and then repeatedly beats them into the ground. A neat idea that can be covered in 3 pages, instead takes 15. After the first 100 pages yout get what he is talking about, but there is still another 300 pages to go. Unfortunately I can't recommend this book to anyone, because it is too painful to read.
Is the review positive or negative?
