It really ticks me off when I am anticipating a book and it just leaves you for dead with an issue on the author's behalf, then I need to take up a cause here. If the author wanted to write something to explain the way someone/ a culture lives, then write a fiction book and be done with it. This author is a decent writer, stop playing field scientist and write a fabulous fictional account instead.
Having said that, I was just getting into this book when I read the above link. I exhaled. I had to because being duped as a reader is a real pet peeve and I was ready call up Amazon and tell them to take it back even if I only get credit for the book.
I sound extreme in my assessment but I like a book to be a memoir, even if memories are faulty and distorted, even exaggerated, they are not big fabrications or telescoped "field notes."
That's all folks, you won't see this side of me very often.
