I've very fond of that book. Fell's idea (perhaps he gave attribution elsewhere, I read it 20 years ago) was that Ogham began as a type of fingerspelling. He also notes that the fingers of the Thor character on the Gundestrup Cauldron spell "thunder" using ogham and whatever language it was...

Very interesting read. I picked it up about 15 yrs ago. An interesting note, is that while visiting an old museum on the Island of Hokkaido, I came across some reproductions of ancient Ainu, that very closely resembled something like the Ogams or Runes. I haven't been able to find any more info though.

I think it's a very advanced language myself. I'm amazed at how difficult it is for people to believe that ancient people's visited America in the past, and how resistent they are to the evidence Fell has gathered.
