"A book not worth rereading is not worth reading in the first place." - Anatoly Liberman Despite only getting three stars from me, this is one of my prized books. I go back to it about once a year & still learn more from it. I appreciate it more with each re-read. It would have been rated higher if the chapters weren't so uneven in quality. Some are so dense it was difficult to follow, but the book aims at being comprehensive, covering archaeology, forensics, art history, historical linguistics, ethnology, Old Chinese literary sources, climate change, etc.
I love how the story comes out through the free-verse narration. Part of me wants more details, while the other part says, "duh, that's the point of a novel in verse."
