I truly wanted to like this book. The title promised a comprehensive and serious treatment of the origins of writing. Instead, the book was a tedious, elongated display of the author's chatty style. Her never-ending use of unnecessary analogies and weak attempts at humor overwhelmed the rare bits of real information. It is ironic that a book about writing should be so poorly written. With so many more promising books on my shelf that are waiting to be read, I could not justify spending any more time on this one.
