Review of 'Sapiens a Graphic History, Volume 2' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

As insightful as the first volume of the graphic adaptation of this non-fiction bestseller, this second volume deals mostly with the development of human civilization(s).

Is it interesting? Absolutely. The graphic style is identical to the first cvolume for obvious reasons - I liked it, but didn't love it.
Several pieces of information were repeated over and over, which I found unnecessary and irritating. Was it to drive home a message or to remind forgetful readers that this bit is important? I do not know, but it made me like the book considerably less.

Nevertheless a good book for those who enjoyed the first volume, or who are really interested in how earlier humans built their societies.
