The Lost City of Z

king to get away from the urban world as well as anyone who thinks the Amazon is some kind of jungle paradise.
=============
I learned a lot from this book, much more than I'd thought, which I realized when I was telling other people about the book. While some of the information and some of the passages were fascinating, I found my attention wandering during other parts. I understand that David Grann was trying to tell *his* search for Col. Percy Fawcett's biography, and ultimately the Lost City of Z, but the transitions sometimes felt forced, and I'd find myself wondering why he was information disgorging on tangential topics. The other thing that kept me from enjoying this book more was because I found myself more interested in the Amazonian tribes than caught up in the fascination for the explorers and explorer fever of the early to mid-1900s.
