Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-29 00:00:00 Cathy Wiggins This is a set of beautiful portraits of diverse landscapes in the Island: from the footprints of the past in the old San Juan to the super modern astronomic plant and telescope built in Arecibo. You don't have to travel to Puerto Rico to enjoy it's beauty: just look at this book and you will be showered by it.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-21 00:00:00 Roger Wallen There were some interesting ideas laid out in this book. But the structure was a mess and the blending of travel writing and historical reference was incongruous. I also found many of the arguments posited to be a stretch and so marinated in academic theory craft as to leave this reader dubious of the conclusions drawn. The reason I read the book was I had expressed interest in learning more about the origin story of El Dorado after reading The Lost City Of Z. My stepfather, who reviews books, gave me his copy. I do feel like I better understand some of the origin story.
