I was a little disappointed by the premise of this book. It was supposed to be an edge-of-the-seat adventure tale, but the natives were friendly and the rescues were successful. I don't know if it needed to be an entire book, but the research that went into it is admirable, and the characters were all very vivid. I was getting bored with it until the epilogue, and I fought back tears for the last 20 pages.
