The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey by Candice Millard

adventurous informative inspiring tense fast-paced

5.0

Ms. Millard has a real talent for writing about history and making it read like adventure fiction. Her prose is at times almost poetic, and she has a knack for vividly describing the settings and action, without being too verbose. She includes background information that enhances the reader's enjoyment of the story, without distracting him from it, or slowing it down.
