Great book, great author! Diamond gives great insight into human nature, past and present. A very thought provoking composition that really makes you stop and take account of the 'hows' and 'whys' of the modern world and society, it really makes you examine ideas that we have just accepted on blind faith for years. Diamond has an easy style of writing which is a pleasure to read, I would happily recommend this book to anyone!

I agree with the reviewers above but I have to add that the book can be heavy going. Not that you need any knowledge of the subject before reading or that it is hard to understand but it is fact dense writing that I found hard to digest during longer reading sessions.

Diamond does an excellent job explaining the history of the migration of homo sapiens and why people from certain parts of the world are more technologically advanced than others. His work is very readable and uncomplicated and simply and clearly explains his reasons. No science education is required to be able to understand this book. My favourite book. 10 out of 10.
