Fordlandia is by Greg Grandin. A nonfiction book which covers the history of Henry Ford's attempted settlement of the Amazon. Ford tried to set up quintessential American towns in the Amazon; with the intent of growing rubber and creating an Americanized social and business structure in the middle of the rain forest. Drags a little at times, not the most exciting read, but still interesting.
Ratings: 12th grade - 7 out of 10.
