Interesting story, lots of maps in the book, so their travels could be followed on Google. The author strives to be accurate, maybe at the expense of telling the story. His major source was the captain's best-selling book of 1817. Lots of characters (11 crew members, they were bought and sold by the tribespeople frequently), so sort of hard to keep track of everyone.
