My Review: I wasn't sure what my review would be like for this book. I actually really enjoyed it, a lot. It was different than what I expected. Knowing nothing about the book I thought it would be about Alaska the state, silly me. It reminded me a lot of the book Prep. I suggest it for anyone looking for a quick read.
My Grade: B+
