I only read this as I needed a Palau book for my Around the World challenge. This incredibly short and brief introduction to Palau was very bare bones and repetitive. It felt like when you have to buff out a word count for an essay so you just repeat previous points in a slightly different way. I feel like I learned next to nothing. I wasn't expecting to end up an expert after only 60 pages but I did think there would be some varied information.
The title is misleading since I'm not sure it actually talks about "prehistory". I'm not sure but it was just rubbish honestly, at the end of the challenge I may try and find something else about or from the country as this doesn't seem like a fair entry.
