Savage Harvest: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism, and Michael Rockefeller's Tragic Quest for Primitive Art by Carl Hoffman

2.0

Some non-fiction authors take a topic I expect to bore me to tears and make it un-put-down-able. (An in-depth look at the politics leading up to World War II? Snooooore.

Fascinating and fantastic.) Others take a topic with so much promise and run it into the ground. (A previously untouched people, a missing millionaire, CANNIBALISM? Fascinating and fantastic!

Snooooore.)

Don't get me wrong, most of this book was interesting, particularly the parts breaking apart sociology and early understanding of Other, but it was much too easy to read a paragraph, set this book down, and kinda hope it wouldn't be there when you got back.
