I posted comments on Collapse several months ago when I read it. Great chapter on Easter Island, but, overall, this book is nowhere as good as Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel. The other chapters get fairly repetitive and I ended up skimming the last couple, which I generally never do. If you haven't read Guns.., that one's a must. The Easter Island chapter was fascinating, though, but I'd recommend the library or a used copy.
