I do believe most people will enjoy this journey into the past and present and it would be an excellent tool for educators; giving way to great discussions in the classroom.

All in all, a respectable book of fact.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Jonathan Maxwell is one of my favorite authors and I looked forward to reading and discussing his book, Piltdown Man on a previous radio broadcast. The book was very interesting as it led the reader into the history of evolution, theroies and, of course, hoaxes.
I must say Jonathan did extensive research into the facts surrounding the myths, truths and lies we have been given throughout the years, and it shows.

Cons

Not to offend the author, but the book was a bit too technical for my taste; rather analytical which at times, lost my interest. As far as character development, it was n't quite as colorful as I had hoped, but the characters were true to form and believe
