Very interesting and condensed narration. Wish it had included more of the evidences that lead to the conclusions.
Superb!

3.5. WIll need to read it all again to really come to terms with all the information, but it was an interesting read.
I liked it more than the original book. Less pretentious, and takes a more measured stance on idealizing the life of sapiens in the nomadic hunter-gatherer phase. Though based on the preview for the next volume, I'm guessing that measured stance may not last. It's engaging and interesting and provides some good discussion material.
I really enjoyed this read! The art is great and the content is fascinating. I really feel like I learned a lot from this book and I’m eager to read the sequel due this Autumn.
My only complaint is the pacing. The chapters are pretty lengthy, which made it tough to stay engaged and really absorb all the details being presented. Shorter chapters would have really helped with retention. Or maybe it’s just me…?

DNF at Part 2
I’ve already read Sapiens (the book) and loved it immensely. However, this graphic history is extremely boring and dry. Yuval Harari is an actual character who trapezes around the pages with his niece, Zoe. The tone and the narration was very much addressing a kid and concepts are repeated over and over; much like those awkward Dora the Explorer episodes where she waits for you to respond back via the TV.
Super disappointed.
