This book lacks critical analysis, but it is useful as a comprehensive overview of the important pre-Islamic sites in Anatolia. Joukowsky tends to confine herself to certain labels and boundaries when discussing ancient Anatolia's civilizations, failing at times to see the fluidity and layered character of the ancient cultures she discusses.

The writing is not always good, but the illustrations and bibliographies are helpful.
