Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle by Daniel L. Everett
3.0
This is a very interesting read (quite thought provoking) but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I was hoping for more personal accounts/revelations of the author's experiences. Instead the book was largely about linguistic theory (with much emphasis on the limitations of Chomsky's theories). I would recommend the book but be aware - it is more academic than memoir.
