Review of 'Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A bit slow in parts, I probably would've abandoned it if I weren't trying to acquaint myself with NZ before visiting this spring. I'm terrible at reading history, so I liked that this account blended history with a memoir so it was more interesting than a straight up timeline of New Zealand's settlement, and the author had an interesting perspective that combined WASPy roots with a Maori marriage.
