John Clarkson rated a book it was amazing Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
A sweeping account of the history of our species. This is one of those books I read in spurts. But the fact that I felt like I learned something on every page kept me devouring it in big chunks. Highly recommended.

John Clarkson answered Tony Gillespie's question: Hi John. I loved "Among Thieves" & eager to read the next in the series. Any news of a UK release date? Tony, I just noticed that my answer to you two years ago never went through. Sorry about that. Hope you got Bronx Requiem and enjoyed it. All the best, John
