In addition to the starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, and Library Journal (not to mention being the #3 LibraryReads pick last November), Lives in Ruins by library favorite Marilyn Johnson is still bringing in the rave reviews.
A recent review in the American Archaeology Magazine says of Lives in Ruins, “Johnson weaves a serious tale of learning about archaeologists and their craft with humor and insight. The wild cast of characters is the stuff of Hollywood….This book is a delight for all of us amateurs who someday want to become serious archaeologists.”
Talk about universal appeal! You can read the full review here. And make sure Lives in Ruins is on your To Be Read pile, if you haven't torn through it already.
