The Twenty-Ninth Day by Alex Messenger - Bookin' It WIth Jen

This book was a slow starter but if you can get through all the technical canoeing terms (or if canoeing is your thing!) it might not be an issue. That being said once you are used to it, this is an excellent read. It really harkens back to the tales of old school adventurers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Any fans of nature or adventure tales, or even just readers of stories like A Walk in the Woods and Wild will enjoy this one. Throughout the book there are quiet glimpses into a wild frontier most of us will only dream of seeing. Its well written, detailed and the photographs are beautiful. 

Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.
