Book Reviews of Saxons, Vikings, and Celts: The Genetic Roots of Britain and Ireland

Book Review: YOU WILL NEVER GET THIS BOOK!
Summary: 1 Stars

DO NOT ORDER THIS BOOK FROM AMAZON. It may be the most interesting book in the world, but you will never receive it. They claim it will ship in 1-3 weeks. I ordered a copy on Nov. 18. It is now more than 3 weeks (their LONGEST estimate) and it still has not shipped. I will never order anything again that doesn't say "in stock" on it. I can't even cancel this book because it was part of a larger order that qualified for free shipping. I've already been charged and may never get the book, but if I cancel it, they'll go attach additional charges for shipping to the other item I ordered. I feel ripped off! I can't find any way to contact amazon about this, so I'm posting this review as a warning to others to NOT ORDER it from amazon.

Summary of Saxons, Vikings, and Celts: The Genetic Roots of Britain and Ireland

From the best-selling author of The Seven Daughters of Eve, an illuminating guide to the genetic history of the British Isles. One of the world's leading geneticists, Bryan Sykes has helped thousands find their ancestry in the British Isles. Saxons, Vikings, and Celts, which resulted from a systematic ten-year DNA survey of more than 10,000 volunteers, traces the true genetic makeup of the British Isles and its descendants, taking readers from the Pontnewydd cave in North Wales to the resting place of "The Red Lady" of Paviland and the tomb of King Arthur. Genealogy has become a popular pastime of Americans interested in their heritage, and this is the perfect work for anyone interested in finding their heritage in England, Scotland, or Ireland. .
