Book Reviews of The Tainos: Rise and Decline of the People Who Greeted Columbus
Book Review: Well researched but probably not for your average traveler.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very well researched book that will tell you everything that is known about the Tainos. My only complaint with the book is that it told me more than I ever wanted to know. I really was only looking for some information about who the Tainos were and how they lived before heading to Puerto Rico on vacation. This book is much more detailed and analytical. It's great if you're really, really interested in knowing all the details but it is not by any means "an easy read." If you're looking for a "beach read" this probably isn't it-- unless you have a Phd focused on ancient cultures.
