Well, if you want more I suppose you could look at my Goodreads account. For Silver, I excerpted each chapter.

Aha. So, for the benefit of others who are curious, Gwern gave Cowen and Ehrman 4 stars (out of 5), Cowen 2 stars, and Hayes 3 stars. That's somewhat informative. The excerpts are interesting too. Thanks!

This would be more helpful if I knew which of those authors wrote which of the books in the great-grandparent.
