Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond

3.0

It was interesting, but very dry. I decided to check it out on audiobook recently so I could listen while doing other things instead of continuing to struggle through my paperback. That really helped, and I was able to get through the last 250 pages in a couple days. It took me about 9 months to get through the first 300! Overall, I'd rate it about 3.5 stars. There were a lot of interesting tidbits, particularly when he talked about the big picture issues and how things tied together. They were just buried beneath all the excessive details in the many case studies.
