Wonderfully entertaining and thought-provoking I listened to the audiobook version in my car and I enjoyed it so much that I often found myself sitting in the parking lot of my destination listening for ten more minutes. Diamond has a way of analyzing history that is both thorough and ingenious. Normally I absoluetely hate history lessons, but this book is in a league of its own. It has sparked my interest in all of the topics that Diamond covered and has left me thinking about them every day. I am going to listen to this one again, probably buy the book, and then listen to the sequel, "Collapse." All those critics giving it bad reviews are used to the typical boring history lessons that are so detailed your head will spin--if you don't fall asleep. If you are even mildly interested in exercising your brain cells, get this book.
