Not nearly as interesting as it should be,
By
This review is from: Of Giants: Sex, Monsters, And The Middle Ages (Medieval Cultures) (Paperback)
Giants have been objects of fascination throughout human history, but Cohen's book is burdened with theoretical cultural studies jargon and a pretentious writing style that destorys and interest. The book seems to be more about the authors ego that a desire to entertain or educate. A waste of money.
