Query: Entertaining and Informative

Readers interested in a pure historical perspective of the three circumnavigational expeditions of Capt James Cook may be disappointed and justifiably critical of this book. Tony Horwitzdoes, however, present here a very entertaining and informative rendition of what modern day influences and current opinions (good and bad/ deserved or undeserved) Capt. Cook and those voyages may have in the regions he explored. Overall, it is well written and engaging. For those who may seek a more formal and classical history of James Cook, those works are abundant.
