Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

4.0

What a book! Sapiens is a total eye opener for me. Yuval Noah Harari has done an excellent job of storytelling on this brief history of humankind. It is easy to understand, not boring (once you pick up the pace) as well as entertaining (I had a few chuckles in every chapter). I enjoyed it cover to cover although it can be a little too harsh on some parts. Bold and exquisite. We all have beliefs and opinions about the history of our ancestors and how we have transcended through various ages of the world. While I was reading this book, it has given me doubts for my belief but sometimes reinforced my theories, too. As a good book should have always done, it has given me time to contemplate, sometimes re-evaluate, my opinion on our own species and the inevitable effect we had on other species as well as on the nature. I normally enjoy reading only the beautifully prosed fictional books but this non-fiction is an excellent read.
