Book Reviews of The Last Voyage of Columbus: Being the Epic Tale of the Great Captain's Fourth Expedition, Including Accounts of Mutiny, Shipwreck, and Discovery

Book Review: The Best Non-Fiction Book I Have Ever Read
Summary: 5 Stars

This was absolutely the most fascinating, gripping, and enjoyable book I have ever read (and I have read a lot of them!). Columbus and his crew make Captain Jack Sparrow and the Pirates of the Caribbean look like a bunch of wimps.

I could not put this book down. I had no idea how many hardships Columbus and his crew endured during their trip to the New World.

This is really "a guy's book", filled with adventure and intrigue. Martin Dugard takes the reader on an incredible journey across the Atlantic, through hurricanes and shipwrecks, and into battle with hostile natives. It is 268 pages of sheer joy.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure, and especially to those who enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
