Reviews
Disappointing
2By rzpittWay too short to give the reader a look at the Maya from the beginning until now. Book avoids many of the more troubling aspects of Mayan life, and serves more as an “executive summary” than as a book that truly imparts history to the reader.Horribly written
2By Joonisgod25Not what I was expecting... things became repetitive even down to wording, the book covered much of nothing
