My review
The story is fascinating and I learned a lot. I was totally unfamiliar with how difficult and time-consuming it was to measure longitude. The only thing I missed in this Kindle edition was pictures. The author is all the time referring to machines and mechanisms that are way easier to understand with a simple illustration.
