Sapiens

The written version conveyed the ideas much better. Here they are muddled and simplified into vagueness till it turned boring.
I also strongly disliked the form in which they are expressed (a trial, or discussions between professors and a child) and found the graphic art mediocre at best.

Yuval Noah Harari tells the story of human evolution in a spellbinding way that manages to teach and entertain at the same time. The author does what I thought was impossible—to talk back to naysayers in a manner that is both irrefutable and yet also humorous.

I learned a lot from this book. And I enjoyed the read. I wonder if I should now read the nonfiction book Sapiens from which it was derived.
