birdkeeperklink's review against another edition

2.0

So, so repetitive. Just keeps circling the same arguments and questions over and over again.

The information is undoubtedly interesting, but this book is extremely hard to get through because of the repetition and the at times overly dramatic description. I don't consider it to be well-written. But if you can overcome that/it doesn't bother you, the information is worth it. Otherwise I would recommend just reading a Wikipedia article on the subject or something.

I would say you could buy it for the pictures, but there aren't nearly enough of them, and no color pictures. Really, just the information is all you'll get from it, so I would just recommend being aware of that before you decide to read it.
