Title: The fascinating back-story of the Waodani
Review: I picked up End of the Spear after having seen the movie of the same title. I needed more detail, particularly knowing the artistic license often required for film. The book did not disappoint. Many of my questions were answered, and the story of what has transpired almost to the present day as Steve Saint fights to protect the Waodani from the outside world while at the same time finding ways to give them the benefits that some of modern life can bring, as well as wean them from dependence on himself, are both fascinating and, at times, heartbreaking.The only reason for four stars is to acknowledge that the writing is at times uneven, Steve is not a writer, per se. But don't let that stop you! If you've any interest at all in the story, I highly recommend the book.
