[Mike Sambuco · Rating 3 out of 5]

There's a lot of controversial and questionable conclusions and speculation drawn by the author, but this is pretty interesting and got me drawn into in the "chase." Some of it was thin, without enough real solid evidence, in my opinion. He exposed some information that was eye-opening, however, and seemed to me to warrant some more investigation.

This was an interesting read. I thought some of the conclusions he came to were based on rather ambiguous or conflicting evidence and often simply raised more questions. But the author was quite exhaustive in his research and his quest for the truth. If you're a fan of early aviation history, and especially of Amelia Earhart, it's worth giving this book your time.

I remember having seen the author on tv and running the next day to pick up this book.

I really liked this book then. No idea if I would feel the same way now, however.

I was really fascinated by her at first. Later, I began to wonder about her motives for the last flight.
