Query: Wouldn't read this if it were assigned or not

I had to read this book for an anthropology class of mine, and it only created more questions than answers. It wasn't a fun read, but it wasn't informative either. Angrosino's definitions are vague and his assertion that anything can be a religion nullifies the need for him to continue the rest of the book. If you are a professor reading this and thinking of assigning this book, please thing twice. We were supposed to use this book to create dialogue as my class is a strictly discussion course, and mostly we could only talk about how much we didn't like the book. Angrosino's final chapter also includes a case study written by him and only goes to show how untalented he is at writing or expressing any knowledge of the "sacred." His case study also features grammatical errors which lower his credibility from very little to none. That's a big problem when this is being used in an academic setting.
