Helpful Score: 3

Blue Latitudes is a memorable and fascinating journey in which the author follows the voyages of Captain James Cook and analyzes how Cook affected the people living in those places today. The book is insightful and often hilarious, especially when Horwitz relates the antics of Roger, the guy who travels with him part of the time. It's a nice mix of modern and historical insights along with some crazy adventures. Highly recommended even for people (like me) who aren't history buffs.
