[Neil · Rating 2 out of 5]

Besides some of the info on Mayan history I didn't think the book was very good. My expectations weren't super high but it still fell flat for me. The plot was disjointed and it almost seemed like the author was just making things up as he went. There were a bunch of out of nowhere reveals at the end. I found the relationship stuff a bit tedious/uninteresting.

Good

Trying to locate Mayan ruins, fighting mosquitoes, heat, drug dealers, makes an exciting story line. The thrill of locating lost ruins keeps your interest.
