This had me intrigued at first - I love reading alternative creation theories and was excited to dive in. Unfortunately, it quickly shifted gears into something more like a scattered and disjointed historical overview that may or may not be accurate. The pacing dragged, and the ideas never quite connected in a way that kept me engaged. It read more like a stretched-out Wikipedia entry than a compelling exploration of ideas. I was hoping for something a bit more imaginativ. It was tough to finish - next time, I'll probably pick up Chariots of the Gods instead.
