I thought this was fascinating. Adams is an excellent storyteller, and damn funny, too. His book expertly blends Peruvian history with the story of Hiram Bingham’s 1911 expedition and Adams’s own attempt to retrace Bingham’s steps. I did this on audio, and the narration was excellent. The narrator does a fantastic Australian accent for John Leivers, the Crocodile Dundee-esque adventure guide. It might have helped to have a print version for reference as there are a lot of Peruvian names and places to keep track of. We are going to Machu Picchu in May and I didn’t know that much about the history so this was an excellent introduction. I may listen to it again.
