Title: A Good Piece of Historical Fiction
Review: This is a great book for those who like a sense of time and place. It was interesting to read Wayne Johnston's take on those infamous explorers Cook and Peary and their rivalry. It is still being debated today who got there first if at all. I was surprised that this book was not mainly about exploration but focused more on a young man's relationship with his father and about how who he thinks he is often defines how he behaves. I found this book to be little too melodramatic at times but I enjoyed the sense of time and place and the style in which it was written. I'd give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
