## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very Interesting Book
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2013*

Aku-Aku tells of Heyerdahl's expedition to investigate the mysteries of Easter Island.  It does give insight into the Island's fascinating history but unfortunately is also used as a base for Heyerdahl to do some of his own horn-blowing.  While I'll admit that his dealings with the Easter Island natives does have some importance, it feels as if he's overplaying his part in this.  One point that shows up makes me glad he did interact as he did, for he was able to preserve a book of rongo-rongo writing for posterity, inasmuch as the book vanished with its owner.  I was also pleased to learn that he granted a favor to the local priest, Father Sebastian, and excavated a site that proved a legend to be actual fact.Aku-Aku is an interesting read, and I do recommend it.  In a way, I suppose Heyerdahl is entitled to do a little horn blowing, because he did, in fact, uncover some very interesting items.  As someone later observed, Heyerdahl's theory was inaccurate, but not entirely.

Read it in 1969 and enjoyed it again in 2015, in planning for a 2016 visit to Easter Island.
