Query: Mediocre at best, not for serious scholars

I am a literature major and had high expectations for this mythology class and textbook. I was, needless to say, terribly disappointed. There are historical inaccuracies, outrageous assumptions, unsupported claims, and MANY technical writing errors such as making no effort to qualify their statements. This is a sloppily written, skim-the-surface text composed for those who don't know any better or who just don't care. If you NEED to use this book in any instance (class assigned), make sure to do some extra research to get a more accurate idea of what's going on historically and analytically.
