5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful road trip, with adventure and painless learning.
Reading Fourth Coast was like taking the trip, with anticipation for every new day and experience Ms. Blocksma related. I learned a lot and eagerly anticipated each daily adventure. When the trip was over, I put down my book and cried, so sorry I was to have it end. Read it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant drive.
An interesting idea: drive the U.S. coast of the Great Lakes and see what you run into. Well written overall with a few excellent vignettes.

An interesting idea: drive the U.S. coast of the Great Lakes and see what you run into. Well written overall with a few excellent vignettes. The fact is, it does start getting a tad tedious by the time you reach Lake Superior, which seems a shame. This might have been better if Blocksma had decided to go more into the history of these places or made it a more personal journal (e.g., Blocksma omits meetings with friends and family and the reader has little idea what's going on in her life at the time). In the end it's a pleasant trip, despite the bouts of rain, but would I want to reread it? Probably not.
