The run on descriptions of the island were beautiful, the woodcuts introducing every chapter were good, but it's just orientalist (is there a more specific word for people describing Polynesians in an extremely objectifying dehumanizing matter?) af. I try not to judge old books with the moral compass of the present, but that one was a struggle.
