challenging slow-paced

2.5

This book starts off as an exciting Antarctic adventure, but rapidly deteriorates into an frustrating account of rehabilitation.

I can imagine there are many people who will take comfort in the characters' journeys. I've not read an account like this before... but it wasn't the adventure I hoped for.
