I enjoyed the authors' snarky, irreverent tone. ("Aztec society, known for its human sacrifices, made distinctions of which direction you traveled after death depending on how you died. Human sacrifices went east to paradise and got to enjoy the sun. Seems a high price to pay for a tan.") But that doesn't change the fact that the book was very sloppily researched and contains dozens of inaccuracies.
