I read about 58% of this book in the spring and then never picked it up again. Although there are interesting areas explored, the text mainly reads as a couple of disgruntled academics settling grudges and addressing pet peeves with fellow anthropology authors. I'm not in the field, perhaps it reads differently if you are, but the theme got old pretty fast and I only read as far as I did because of a book club commitment (where noone else finished it either.)
