The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon (Vintage Departures) By David Grann Paperback

Beautiful written, hard to put down. Grann presents the story of Fawcett, you almost think he was with him in the Amazon. Definitely a must read if you like adventure based on true stories.

Great gift...

This book was so well-written that it was more captivating than most works of fiction. The author did an outstanding job of weaving together the facts and history of the search for the Lost City of Z with details that made you feel that you were part of the adventure. An excellent read!

Way better than the movie. Hard to put down. Easy to follow.

'The Lost City of Z' is a story about the life of Percy Fawcett, the famed Amazon explorer of the early 1900s. The man had a dream of finding a mythical city of gold deep in the jungle. The author goes into great detail about his life, adventures and everything connected to him. The author has clearly done his research. But I somehow found the book to be less than compelling. It seemed little more than a good packaging of information that has long been publicly available.Bottom line: a literary reliving of a man who was larger than life but left this reader bored. Not recommended.

it was a pretty good read, the end was a bit disappointing but then again what did I expect.

Another great adventure story filled with facts and history. I don't understand "obsession" to this degree; sometimes it borders on insanity.

Arrived as promised, good condition.
