Summary: Fatu Hiva born again...
Review: This is great book about Heyerdahl's adventures and philosophies before and which inspired Kon-Tiki. Unfortunately, for me, it is an exact, word-for-word copy of Fatu Hiva - except for the title.

Summary: Generally a Good Read
Review: This is one of those good kind of books that goes great with a rainy day and a cup of tea as you sit in your very normal surroundings imagining a place that is unimaginable.

Beware, though, of the large portions of uninteresting zoological mumbojumbo, and even worse, the offensive and continuous ranting of the Darwin-religion rhetoric.

Dig past the rubbish, and you'll find something worthwhile.

Summary: For a moment I too, stood on Fatu-Hiva, with Liv & Thor.
Review: Twenty years ago I read Heyerdahl's first book about his year-long stay on Fatu-Hiva. Now out of print, but renewed in this book, is the vivid recollection of his time when the rest of the world stood still and he and his new bride explored a strange new culture and began the process of discovery not only for themselves but for all of us
