"Tony Horwitz's Blue Latitudes is one of the best. . . full of humor. . . an elegant running account of Cook's exploits." --The New York Times Book Review (cover review)

"Curiosity, intelligence, compassion and a sense of adventure. . . I love reading Tony Horwitz." --Chicago Tribune

"Horwitz succeeds brilliantly in turning the English from stiff icons to flesh-and-blood human beings. The book's constant humor, honesty and judgment recall his own Confederates in the Attic and Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods.. . . This book will keep you enthralled." --The Seattle Times
