The charm of this is beginning to wane. Some chapters are incredibly strong (1-3) where he does a good job being the layman’s anthropologist, blending history and culture while staying firmly rooted in the present. In Ch. 4 and 5 I really feel the weakness of his skills as a writers. Narrative gets lots and these chapters lose focus and become meandering, too romantic and philosophical that it feels out of place.
