Title: pointing out the obvious...
Review: I read Quinn's novel two years ago and saw the first-ever stage adaptation one year later. Initially, I was very moved by the underlying message of the story which I interpreted (fundamentally, at least) as a wake up call. I'm not at liberty to call Mr. Quinn's historical or scientific facts into question because I am not an historian or anthropologist. I do know that a good book is characterized partially by its ability to cause change and urge its audience to question things that they might otherwise overlook. The message of Ishmael is so simple, yet so hard to incorporate into our technologically-advanced, power-hungry lives. Even if the book doesn't cause people to alter their destructive "Taker" ways, it will most certainly force them to think about what it is they're are doing and what effect this inevitable damage will have on their lives and the lives of generations to come
