A review by nothingforpomegranted
South by Frank Hurley, Fergus Fleming, Ernest Shackleton

Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.

I have some regret that I don’t intend to continue reading this because so many of the reviews are five stars, citing the unbelievable story, as well as Shackleton’s surprisingly effective writing. However, as I listened to the narration that I got as an educator ALC from libro.fm, I’m just not actually that engaged or interested in Arctic exploration. I am sure that the story is fascinating, but I think I’d rather listen to an hour long podcast and read the wWikipedia article than listen to the 15 hours of Shackleton’s first-person account.
