Title: Great Topic, Surprising Bad Treatment
Review: I loved Diamond's Guns, Germs & Steel, and had similar high hopes for this. Unfortunately, I found it disjointed, anectodal, and very disappointing. Although Diamond is obviously a good man and probably not guilty of this, I got the impression the Montana information was included so he could write off his vacations there. There is valuable information in here, so if you're interested in the topic it's worthwhile, but this has all the hallmarks of a quickie follow up to a commercial success (Guns, Germs and Steel) you expect from a new movie star but not a Pulitzer-prizewinning author. You're better than this, Jared.
