CRM exposed! Real archaeologists at work!,
By jennifer@hutchey.com (Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swamp! (Paperback)
Readers of SWAMP! will find that the archaeologists they see digging by the side of the road live not in a world reminiscent of 'National Geographic'...far from it! Highly recommended for anyone who is even thinking of becoming an archaeologist, or those of us who find ourselves stuck in the field of cultural resource management. My co-workers and I constantly entertain ourselves by reading passages aloud on our drive to projects. Five stars!

The compound of humor and serious reading!,
By Kaichi Abe (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swamp! (Paperback)
This is one of the funniest books that I have ever read in my life! I just happened to get this book and really enjoyed it. The author has a fabulous sense of humor. There are many funny episodes that are woven into the story and those episodes never got me bored. One day, when I was on the way home by bus, one of the episodes popped into my mind and I couldnft stop laughing, acting like an idiot. However, it is not just a funny book. I have never been to the south of the United States but his well-written story is vivid enough to let me feel it. This book takes the readers to the South! The book is light reading but he also describes how the environment had been ruined in the name of civilization. It casts a question whether humanfs effort to pursue the convenience really ends up to evolution or human happiness. It is worth reading!

For those wanting a dose of reality,
By A Customer
This review is from: Swamp! (Paperback)
Joe Pachinko captures all that is life on the underbelly of the contract archaeologist. A dark and dismall tale that does not make life pretty just so it can be consumed my the masses. Joe Pachinko proves that he knows first hand the horrors of which he tells. From the raping of the land with toxic waste, to bowing down before the altar of the dollar while disreguarding human life ,to the squaller that Sam and Billie Jo live in, this story never lets the reader catch his breath. Image after image is thrust upon you, almost breaking yor will, but dragging you forward at the same time. Delving into the twisted, but somehow truthful mind of Sam, life is definatly not seen through rose tinted glasses. This book is stark reality at its core and does not yield for the faint hearted. A wonderful piece of literature that should be quickly digested, but only if you can keep it down!
