Title: Megalomaniac twit in charge: it is all about Peary
Review: Having read Scott, Nansen, Shackleton and many others, I was really looking forward to an engaging and indeed fascinating read here. I was, to say the very least, quite disappointed. I left off reading this tale about half-way through, being extremely tired of yet another Peary heroic gracing his pages. Peary is, as many have chronicled, very very fond of himself and loves to tell every reader how he singlehandedly saved the Inuit race, taught them so much, saved their souls and so on. This self-aggrandized spirit leaps from almost every page and quickly becomes muddling and frustrating. There are many other much better tomes of Arctic and Antarctic explorations, and I have listed some of the authors above. I highly recommend them to you, but am patently unable to endorse the pompous and vain adventures of Mr. Peary. PK
