Parts, especially conversations between family members, struck me as especially hollow. Santini himself was hugely problematic. Of course, this is the point, but I still think readers are supposed to like him just a little, and I really didn't. One or two parts made me laugh aloud, but reading this was something of a chore. All this being said, I was surprised at how much the ending upset me.
Interesting book, but a lot of extraneous details about other adventurers that didn't really add a lot. Wish there had been a few more pictures of where he'd traveled, maybe a few snaps of his journal. Still don't really get why this was such a big story...
