is finished with Kon-Tiki: This book makes me want to sail to Polynesia, overcome my fear of sharks, and build a monument to Thor Heyerdahl and his crew.

Quite an unusual retelling of Hansel and Gretel, but beneath the surface, that is what it is. McNeal kept me turning the pages just to see if my assumptions were correct. Nice suspense.
