3.5

I love the description of Alaska, and how they lived and learned to survive there, makes me want to just go there and explore be one of the "tourist". I gave it only a 3.5, though, because I find some parts of the story cumbersome and unnecessary already. I almost DNF when the chief Curt arrested her, although I kind of knew it already.. so some parts are also predictable. It's also forced to be complicated and have some events that were too unrealistic for me.
