Had it been written by a truly talented author it would have been one of the most exciting books I've read. The subject matter is extremely engaging and compelling. It was all I could do to pay attention through the monotony. The narrator did very little to enliven the already flat read. How did the narrator detract from the book? The story line of this book reads like a slow walk on the open salt flats. The book meanders almost aimlessly from one anecdote to another. The writing could have been more narrative in style, offering more of the authors' voice. Thompson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Instead this was just a compilation of facts that reads like a dry book report. Jacques Boucher de Perthes is known as one of the modern founders of archaeology. The geologist refused to publish the age of the site because they believed that it was not possible for the sight to be that old despite their findings. I'd have enjoyed hearing more of the authors voice in the writing. The scientists believed that humans were not in North America until 20,000 years ago. The information and subject matter is compelling enough that I'd recommend this book to anyone, but the delivery was dry and the narration did little to improve that fact. What would have made Forbidden Archeology better?Ī more lively narrator would have helped keep me from falling asleep.
