Negative Positive
Title: Informative, but far too long and very dry
Review: Book has a lot of info presented in a sensible order but is obscenely dry and hard to read. Goes on for far too long, book could have been 1/3 the length and the same amount of information gotten across. No original thesis; it's just a compilation of data.If you are writing an IN DEPTH paper on the Amistad mutiny, you have found your book. For anything else, it's rubbish. You can get a better overview off Wikipedia.
