I liked it because it was Amelia Earhart, and let's face it - she was amazing. But, let's also face this, she was a pilot, not a writer. I wouldn't want a writer to fly a plane either. So, although it wasn't amazing writing, that's not what she set out to do anyway - she wanted to write a log of her travel around the world, and that's just what this is. Fairly interesting, but it's mostly details about her planes and her arrangements to get from country to country. It's kind of like watching the movie Titanic in that you know the ending before you start reading this book, but can't help but wish for an ending where she's still alive and well.
**The best part about this book is the fact that I picked it from the library's shelf because it looked like the oldest book they had - the copy was from 1937 and had the old library card in it, with stamps all through the 50's and 60's from people checking it out. I like imagining the people who held this copy and wondered just as I did about this great pilot - female explorer of the whole world.**
