I agree with Rob: on prehistory, witchcraft and the middle ages Evans
is just as reckless.  I've read a portion of the book excerpted in a
magazine: Evans has taken some very interesting ideas and facts with
possible connections and made a miserable hash out of them.  He's
been severely criticized in the press for his opinions about the
history of witchcraft, for example.  The book is a mess, which is a
shame considering what it could have been.
