Negative Positive
Title: Great book, despite what other reviewers say...
Review: I enjoyed this book completely. It's scope is magnificent and opened my eyes to one possible answer to the Western Europe Rules question -- the availability of domesticable food sources.I liked how the author addressed the myriad aspects contained: language, food production, invention, etc.Some other reviews on this site have detracted from what this book is about -- a hypothesis that is supported by the data at hand. Most of the detractors points have low merit (and I would think these same reveiwers have spent little time trying to forage for food in the wilderness considering one persons point that "ideas" have more meaning). One point that a reviewer made that I will agree with, is that luck plays a large part in how things turn out.Still, the book could be repetitive, and I don't think it is the final answer to the question set forward... only a very well thought out answer.
Is the review positive or negative?
