The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon - David Grann

one sentence summary:
1925: an obsessive man, Percy Fawcett, ventures into the Amazon and never comes out.
review:
A fascinating mix of fact and speculation this adventure takes us back in time to the unexplored jungles of the Amazon. One of the most intriguing and well written piece of accessible non-fiction I have ever read. The writing is very good, keeping the plot moving along. Part historical, part travelogue and all adventure. I recommend this to anyone who likes reading true stories that are really interesting, or adventure stories in general.


8/10
