mmullerm 's review for:
Kon-Tiki Expedition
by Thor Heyerdahl, Thor Heyerdahl
I was completely overwhelmed. I sank down on my knees and thrust my fingers deep down into the dry warm sand. The voyage was over. We were all alive. We had run ashore on a small uninhabited South Sea Island. And what an Island!
Kon-Tiki was a fascinating read. In 1947, the author, Thor Heyerdahl, and five other guys sailed on a raft made of 9 large balsam wood logs from Peru to the South Pacific Islands. The journey and the story Heyerdahl tells is absolutely amazing.
The trials of conquering the ocean and Mother Nature, all the creatures and marine life they encountered, and the life lessons they learned about themselves and each other is unforgettable. This is a perfect book that allowed me as a reader to live vicariously. I will never be going to the South Pacific in my life but I partially feel like I’ve been there now after experiencing this book.
5 stars all the way. A great read!
