I liked it much more than "Guns, Germs, and Steel." Definately an "A"

Guns, Germs and Steel was so full of statistics and data that certain chapters and sections made me fall asleep. Yes, it was an overall great book, but the level of detail and supporting information was overwhelming and Diamond might have done the book more justice by putting much of that information in the back of the book.
