Title: I feel sorry for anyone who has not read this book.
Review: It isn't a novel. It is a straight forward - almost dear diary like - account of a planned and executed scientific project. Given who was planning it, Heyerdahl, and who was funding it (Nat Geo) what could go wrong? Ha!You know, if only everybody had read this book BEFORE Iraq became a household word. Nothing of what is going on there now would be a surprise.That aside, the glimpse of the past you are treated to, by proxy, is simply mind bending. If you think you have a good grasp on ancient history, be ready to gasp. So many insights and surprises - and suspense. Wow.I bought several copies as I can't think of a better source of entertainment to give as a gift than reality on the edge.
