I had never read or really heard anything about Fawcett before reading this. I completely understand why the story captivated so many people. I was sooo hungry for some more clues, more speculation, as to the party's fate. It was frustrating that we didn't get any of that although it's hardly Grann's fault.
The last chapter describing the archeological finds was absolutely fascinating. That could be - and I'm sure already is - a whole book in and of itself.
I hesitate to rate this 4 stars because i really feel like there were some areas that could have received more depth. But, at the same time, what's there on the pages was such a fun, fast, informative read.
