Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

Author: Jared Diamond

This was a long read for me. For some reason, I had numerous interruptions throughout the course of reading it. Overall, it was good. I'd have to say that some parts are better than others. Some of the details could have been left out in my opinion. Some would argue that these make books great, but I would say that many books could be 40-50 pages long and accomplish more than they do in 300 pages! In any event, it was a fairly good read and I enjoyed learning about all the history, stories and theories written therein. 3 out of 5 stars.
