Found it very hard to stay with the book and get it finished. The author spent so much time talking about having breakfast and getting prepaired i didnt care if i finished the book. One chapter actually talked about finding gold, but only to not tell you what they found. What good is a book about gold prospecting if there isnt any find?

I found this book to be a quick and enjoyable adventure. As a pilot and aircraft owner, like the author, and one who has flown in the same country that the story takes place, I would have been critical of obvious errors in his use of terms and place names. This was not a problem however. I like flying/adventure books and this one fit that catagory well.

The author tended to go into a little too much detail about his social life and seemed to mention eating in resturaunts, including what was ordered, a little too much. Some authors would have included the entire contents of this book into one or two chapters of a longer book. However, I think anyone who enjoys adventure in Alaska, flying, or gold prospecting would enjoy the book, as I did. It is well written and some of the author's roots in England seem to come through in his writing style.
