"An absolutely fantastic read for a lover of all things myth and religion. It's a great philsophical look at the emergence and values of different religious traditions."
"I love the Golden Bough, but as an enjoyable example of a particular type of arm chair anthropology from the early 20th century. Frazer has some wonderful theories about the role of myth and magic. I recommend it to people who aren't overly concerned about truth, or who are interested in it as an artifact from the 20th century."
