Review of "Kon Tiki" by Thor Heyerdahl

Incredible, true story of six men floating halfway across the Pacific on a primitive raft simply to prove it could be done. An inspiring tale of courage, adventure, camaraderie, and science, and a testament to the human spirit that unites us across cultures and timelines. The book is a hopeful reminder of a world where people are driven by curiosity, ingenuity, and the humble search for the truth.
