Title: False Marketing
Review: I was pretty upset when I read this book--the marketing for it is very very misleading. Here's the honest marketing: It goes on and on about the geography and Dutch colonization of Indonesia for pages and pages. And I mean on and on. Then info about the culture and people of the island. Then you finally get to the volcano erupting--but it's a very short description of the event--and very very disappointing, especially after having slogged through Dutch colonization 101 for pages on end. It's not a vivid, detailed, fiery reconstruction--it's much more bland than that. Like I said, very misleading marketing. I read Isaac's Storm by Eric Larson and thought this would be even better. Krakatoa doesn't even come close to being as good as Isaac's Storm--buy that book instead.
