Title: A little tedious sometimes but totally exciting/interesting
Product review: This book is perfect for those who are interested in either historical accounts of exploration and adventure... or those who are fascinated by the perils of life on the sea. What I personally loved about this book was the detailed accounts of the people, places, and situations Magellan's fleet encountered on their journey to circumnavigate the globe. The writer, Bergreen, obtained his info from a diary kept by one of Magellan's crew members named Pigafetta. I believe that Bergreen's story was extremely accurate, easy to understand and follow (altho maps would definitely have helped), and it was full of action and adventure with mutinies, torture, hurricanes, shipwrecks, cannibals, and much much more!
