Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before by Tony Horwitz
3.0
I enjoyed the book, but some parts were a little tough to get through. I came out with a deeper respect for Cook and his journey, and lament for the cultures and lives that were lost as a result.
The way Horwitz described each island made me want to visit them, but he really showed how colonialism has affected them. It made me slightly disillusioned with the world. His description of Hawaii made it seem much more magical than the rest.
He met a colorful cast of characters that made the story that much more fun. Australia was a lot of fun to read about. I envy how well-traveled he is.
