it was ok

Volume 2 of Sapiens wasn't as engaging as the first for me. The first half of this graphic novel felt way too heavy-handed in its negative portrayal of the agricultural revolution. I got the point but it was getting too repetitive. I liked the second half of the novel much better when it dives into culture and the myths/fictions of society that result in inequalities and hierarchies. I'll probably still pick up Volume 3 and read until the end. Overall, it was a quick, easy read. Can't say that I learned anything new exactly but it was a nice reminder about societal constructs. The agricultural revolution stuff was interesting but I was getting tired of being told how bad it was for humanity.
