" This book epitomizes every idea it claims to hate. Quinn attacks people who "blindly follow religion" but expects people to follow his ideology having merely read around 200 pages of flawed logic and downright false historical retelling. I read this book hoping to be intellectually challenged and was merely disgusted with Quinn's threadbare rhetoric. "

" Powerful. Life-changing. Seriously. "

" An excellent story of a point of view different from mine. "

" very interesting arguments for changing the basic assumptions of why we live the way we do. answered some of my thoughts on why I like tribal systems so much, and posited a basic tribal vs. civilized argument. Cleverly written and I think important questions for environmentalist and those who want to live in the future. "

" This is a real easy read and the chapters are short so you can read just a bit before bed. I'm enjoying it so far, it's an interesting look at our place in the world. "
