kirstenrose22's review against another edition
2.0
I think I've learned that while I find language and linguistics fascinating, archaeology just leaves me cold. The first 100 pages or so were great (because they mostly focused on linguistics), but after that it just got bogged down in too much technical detail (i.e. archaeology), and I skipped/skimmed from that point.
adastrame's review against another edition
I stopped reading this book at 30% because it was super boring to read about archaeological stuff in minute detail. Might be interesting for archaeologists, but not for me.

Hopefully I’ll come back and finish this is print, but it’s too dense for an audiobook as I enjoy them.

Absolute tour-de-force! Second half becomes a bit bogged down in heavy archaeology discussions but if you excavate the ancient treasures hid within the excavation of ancient treasures it is worth it
