Negative Positive
Title: Doesn't Make Sense
Review: I'm guessing Diamond was given a huge advance to write this book based on his last success, "Guns, Germs and Steel" - which was a terrific book. Collapse opens up with a completely non-sensical description of Montana based on anecdotal stories. He mentions global warming many times for no apparent reason. The book seems more like incoherent ramblings rather than the careful analysis of a skilled researcher. I rarely put down a book once I start but I couldn't bear to continue after 3 chapters. Sorry Jared, but terrible book.
Is the review positive or negative?
