The Memory Code: The Secrets of Stonehenge, Easter Island and Other Ancient Monuments by Lynne Kelly

3.0

The first 3 chapters provide an interesting overview of the theory and give a vague description of how the author tested the theory in her daily life. More specific discussions of this aspect may have been helpful, though it seems clear that a clear discussion of this may be difficult to provide. The remaining chapters provide useful descriptions of potential memory spaces, but more pictures would have been helpful in some sections. Additionally, the phrases "I believe..." and "I am convinced..." surrounding claims that certain spaces were memory spaces seemed to fit poorly in the narrative. They serve to remind that this is just a theory without significant concrete proof underlying it. Overall this is an interesting book and I may try some of the techniques in it, though it seems both too long and too vague. More in-depth discussion would have been helpful, but based on the actual specificity that was provided the book itself was too long.
