Very goodBy CherieWe all have a bit of wanderlust hiding inside. This story piques the interest but reality surfaces to rationalize why more do not act.

For one thing it's written from the viewpoint of an "expedition amateur" so we get glimpses of problems that other writers might overlook. The history of earlier expeditions is woven into the storyline in a manner that helps to explain the decisions made on the author 's trek. Altogether a good read; JW
