Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-19 00:00:00 Jamie Gillis Four and a half stars really. I don't read enough of history and did not think there is a lot of it on Easter Island. I was wrong. I enjoyed reading about how it became a modern tourism point and why it is so bare. However, I feel sorry for the ingenious people, who live there as they have never really known what it is like to be free.
