Guns, germs, and steel critique assignment

It is fascinating how much of an impact these diseases could have on entire populations. The book said that some diseases wiped out as many as 95% of a whole population! I have to say that this book was one of the best have ever read. Most people have talked to said they hated it, but there was just something about it that caught my interest It started off very slow but as it progressed got hooked. I was amazed at the amount of information that the author was able o fit in a 400 page book.

Some books are 1 000 pages on just one of the subjects that is discussed in this book. Would rate this book, on a scale of 1 to 10, a 9. The only reason it doesn’t get a 10 is because it was hard to understand in some sections. The author used a very wide vocabulary, and I understood most of it, just not all of it. There were only a few things in the book that I thought were wrong but it could have just been that I thought wrong. Overall, this is a great book based purely on facts that everybody should read.
