Review: You will fall in love with this book! - This book is a treasure. It's the one book I give away the most. The wisdom, humor, and beautiful writing will stay with you for years. The storytelling, the characters, and the setting will draw you in and keep you turning pages, putting off all other duties because you have to keep reading. Though I've read it multiple times, it's still a book I pick up at random and read a chapter. I love Heacox's style of writing. He is a master of his craft, able to write well but with humility and compassion and humanity. He's not on an author's perch, looking down at us. You get the feeling you're out there in the wilderness with him, having deep conversations and heartfelt laughs. This book will make you think, about how we live in this world, about how we could live in this world. About what it means to love--places and people. And this book will make you feel, both tears and laughter, both joy and pain. He doesn't lob softballs. This is writing that hits you in the chest, fires up your brain, and on good occasion, gets you laughing from the belly. Do yourself a favor: let yourself love this book as much as I do. You won't be sorry.
Review: Great writer - Great writer. Interesting story

Great writer. Interesting story

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alaska is dear to me. Nothing like it elsewhere.
*by D***A on August 30, 2021*

Enjoyable, enlightening read. Some great description of the unique visuals this country serves up. The obvious fact we are screwing it up because it is so unique is driven home with a rather large mallet. Author submits to depressive observations frequently. I, for one, got it the first time. We are an odd species, this proven again & again in most chapters. Alaska...what an experience. Glad I lived it in the late 60's/early 70's. I left as North Slope & pipeline were ramping up. Been back a few times & the glaciers are surely receding @ alarming rates. Old sourdough guy sent me off with "Just remember, it's a strange world Andy". What would he say today? That's the frustration that hovers throughout this well written book. By the way, my name's not Andy.
