Review title: Needed an editor
Product review: I really enjoyed many aspects of "Four Against the Arctic", the story of the four stranded Russians, how the author followed up every lead to learn more about the original story (which many reviewers did not like) and the way the author tied in many other survival stories. A good book as far as content goes. But what I did not like about it was the jumbled and highly ornamented writing style. Not content to use a simple adjective when an obscure one will do, Mr. Roberts seems to write with a thesaurus at his side. There's no indication that the publisher assigned an editor to the project. That was mistake. "Four Against the Arctic" would have been a far better book if it had been edited. Although it was a relief to finish it, I still value "Four Against the Arctic" for the content. Glad I only paid two bucks for a used copy - thank-you Amazon.
