It was a hard book to get through. It contained so much information that I found it boring in places. I put it down so many times but I did finish it.

Lots and lots of details about 8 private boarding school girls--I really got tired of all of the detail--some of it was really unnecessary.

Had to buy this book for gerontological medical-surgical nursing. I guess the only positive thing I can say is that the information is succinct. However, it is SO boring and is full of hyperlinks that they want you to look at for further information..There are also a lot of times where it gives you contradictory information.

I think that the whole story could have been told in 100 pages.  There was some repetition and boring parts.  I found out way more information about the uncles than I ever wanted to know.

There is too much repeat of information.  By the time you get half way through it feels like jibber- jabber.

There is a good deal of information in this book, much of which is on things I do not consider important.  The maps are in low contrast and not easy to see;  it is very heavy to carry around while touring and it lacks information for finding one's way from airports and other public transportation, which I consider essential.  I regret spending the money on it.

This book is a fairly comprehensive report on the ancient mayan city of Copan.  I say that in the context of having no experience in the field of central american archaeology.  If you're searching for a really in-depth explanation of all aspects of Copan, you may want to seek elsewhere.  If you're like me then this short book should suffice.

Like the title of my review, I found this book to be informative yet boring.  It upheld it's purpose for me, which was as a resource to writing essays on Copan...but don't get this book and expect to go for an adventure because it will leave you yawning.

In places it was hard to read.  There was too much technical information that I feel was unnecessary to tell the story.

It's okay/average overall, it has a wealth of information, but it's relayed to the reader in such a way that it's very boring. I love learning the Spanish language and the history of Spain, so for me to find it boring was quite the feat.

It was very long and drawn out.  Each section is the same story in a different perspective without much new information added.  I kept reading on hoping for a twist that would make all my effort worth it.  Frankly it got so long and boring I stopped reading.  Perhaps whatever happened at the end was great, but I just couldn't read through all the boring repeated information to the end.  If you like slow books, then you might not mind, but it wasn't for me.

Way too much information for me to digest in the time I've had it. An eclectic approach to presenting many obscure writings from many sources. Perhaps if I ever get through it I can give it a higher rating.

There was way too much detail included that doesn't make any sense to most of us. It was just background noise for me. If the book had been 60% its length, it would've improved.

p redictable & too descriptive in regard to surroundings & too much talk about nothing,
I was a little disappointed

There was a lot of good information about different situations that can occur and I guess repeatedly stating some facts helps it to sink in but it became tiring.

Although this book has a lot of interesting information and photos, it it so tediously written and so focused on specific archeological finds that it was very disappointing overall.  There was very little "overview information" about the Celtic lifestyle.  If you want a lot of archeological detail this book is for you.  But if you are looking for a more general book with information about the Celtic lifestle you will never make it through this textbook-like work.

While this book is extremely detailed and well researched, it is also incredibly boring. Purchased the book for a graduate level class on food access and we had to give presentations on various chapters. I'm glad the professor didn't make us read the whole thing. Just getting through my assigned 4 chapters was like pulling teeth. The information is great though. If you are doing research or studying anything to do with poverty and hunger, this is a great resource. But I would recommend you get it through a library. Not exactly a book you'll probably use a lot after you are done.

The subject was very interesting, but the nature of the resources, quote after quote became very boring. On a positive note,it was obvious that the author had to do a massive amount of research in what must have been very obscure places..
