A review by artemisg
Journeys to the Other Side of the World by David Attenborough

funny informative inspiring medium-paced

3.5

It took me some time to get into this book, but once I was invested I was absolutely rapt. My anthropology major heart was made so happy by the amount of cultural observation in this book, especially since the Pacific holds a special place in my heart and education (New Zealander things).

Some moments felt culturally insensitive, but I have to give Attenborough props for keeping the writing as true to the original as possible.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and would happily read it again - thanks to my brother for the Christmas present <3
