Tedious and entirely without value
I presume that the other reviewer is the author himself. This is a tedious description of a few vacations taken in what is now Haida Gwaii.

I bought the book because I thought it would give me some insight into life in the islands but it does not. Moreover, the author's nauseating description of the illegal killing of a bear by an poacher meant that I was unable to finish reading it. The author clearly condoned this senseless slaughter. At another point he shows his wife throwing litter (a bottle) into the ocean. I find it extraordinary that an apparently respectable publisher would taint its reputation with something of this nature. The book is of no value to anyone. |
