Review of 'Kon-Tiki' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This love story between and a man and his raft and their journey nearly 70 years ago doesn't end well for the raft.

This book is the true story of one man's unwavering belief in his theory of South Pacific migration from South America, and his willingness to risk his own life to prove it. Comes across as a true adventure tale, a thrill to read and hard to put down. Recommended!
