Unabridged Audiobook
How is no one catching the historical errors in this book? It’s laughable to know that the New York Times and Washington Post endorse this crap. Does anyone actually fact check anything? For example, when Edith recounts the details about Margaret’s death from Typhoid, the author writes that Edith states she’s baffled about how Margaret got so sick if she only drank bottled water and didn’t even eat salad. Bottled water? Really? lol, I could go on about this book but why bother, in case someone does read this review I hope you too can point out the discrepancies.
Absolutely amazing story of Roosevelt’s trials and tribulations in the Amazon.
An interesting look at exploration and explorers. Only slightly hero worshipping.
such a gripping book
This book started out interesting and quickly turned to drudgery once in the River. Too too many details about bugs and plant life and different Indians. Most had little or nothing to do with the story. It was selected as our book club book but no thanks for me. I’ll move on to another.
I liked this, but I thought Candice Millard's book on Garfield, "Destiny of the Repulbic" was much better. Indeed, it may be my favorite book ever.
