I read the book

I saw one or two hour-long documentaries about the lost expedition. I tend to be really interested in that kind of thing, but for some reason Z didn't especially spark me. I felt like it passed the time pretty well, but it didn't get me quite the way I expected. I know that's not the same as this specific property, so I'm still looking forward to watching it, but probably as a rental.

I saw the movie tonight and I wanted to love it but it was a miss for me. I love this type of history, it's really my favorite. I think the reason I find it so thrilling is that this was just one hundred years ago!!!!! That always amazes me. In 1917, we didn't know what the jungles in Bolivia looked like or what history it held. We still don't know very much. But......the movie, it had that excitement in the first half and somehow faltered in the second half. I'm not sure why. It was very well reviewed so it might be me. I should check out the book because it's usually better anyway.
