Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle by Daniel L. Everett

5.0

This was fascinating, and had very little to do with the author's beliefs and deconversion, but rather was mostly about his interactions with the Pirahãs. There was quite a bit of technical linguistic discussion, which I loved. Daniel seems very intelligent and learned. He has a very gentle and non-judgemental way of discussing issues. I think his theories about culture and language make much more sense than Chomsky's.

At times it wasn't totally clear where a particular story was going. I think it could have benefiting from editing. The narration was ok but there were some glaring mistakes and stumblings.
