River of the Gods: Genius, Courage, and Betrayal in the Search for the Source of the Nile by Candice Millard

adventurous informative medium-paced

3.0

I typically loved narrative nonfiction but thought this was just okay. The conflict didnt seem to build as much as I thought it would, and the story felt like it was dragging in several occasions. 

Some of the characters were more interesting than the events of the explorations. Burton and Bombay held my attention most. 

3/5
