Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-08 00:00:00 Linda Patterson Any interesting observations about myths similar across multiple cultures are completely overwhelmed by academic arguments on a mean girls level (doesn't have the nerve to call me out by name while mocking my work, cites me incompletely, doesn't even understand my argument, etc.). It was kind of amusing, but mostly just annoying and pretty. Didn't learn a lot from someone supposedly highly knowledgeable about the field.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-02-26 00:00:00 Michael Osborne There isn't much mythology in this book as it's mostly the author tearing to shreds the work of Max Muller, someone he seems to have had a long-standing grudge with. It was dotted with some anthropological examples but not enough to make it an interesting read!
