Summary: Amazing Story
Review: ... if you like adventure you MUST get this! Even if you don't like adventures this book might just get you liking them. Dana and Don aren't afraid of anything. Just this summer they started on a trip from Iowa to Florida and arrived back at the end of summer. I know Dana and met Don once at a party and they love to tell the story and anyone who likes adventures will love to read it.

Summary: Paddle to the Amazon
Review: I enjoyed reading this book even though I find the author wasnt very much prepared for the trip. Seems either he or his son would forget important things when they camped and then unable to get them back. Still it was very interesting and I bought his second novel about the Artic.

Summary: An easy choice - read it
Review: I read many true life adventure books. This is among the best. A father and son on a two year trip 12,000 mile canoe trip from the middle of Canada to the mouth of the Amazon. The writing is crisp and honest. The tale is amazing. Any 10 pages of this book rival the adventure content of entire books I have encountered. It breezes from one harrowing account to the next. I was sorry it ended.

Summary: definitely a keeper
Review: If you are willing to plow through all 317 pages of mostly edited diary notes, you will be rewarded with a reliving of the ultimate marathon of modern times, in the same category as the classic "Men Against the Sea" or a reading of Magellan's trials during his great voyage. You will never forget it. I still have copy on my bookself 15 years after first reading it.

Summary: A BOOK TO ALWAYS REMEMBER
Review: It's been over two years since I've read this book and I still think about it! This is definitely a MUST READ for any adventure enthusiast. What a fantastic way to learn about geography and the world around you. My 14-year-old read this book in two days. Imagine paddling from Canada, down the Mississippi river and out into the ocean. And boy, when the Starkell's reach the Gulf of Mexico, the adventure gets even better! Their experiences were fascinating, harrowing and enviably exciting! I hated to reach the last page. This is one of those books that I plan to reread! * * * * * FIVE STARS!

Summary: A remarkable true life journey that defines "adventure".
Review: The majority of people who knew of this adventure from the beginning had a hard time believing it was possible. And those they met along the way challenged the validity of it altogether. This true story is about more than just the longest canoe trip in history, it is about courage and stretching the boundaries of normal perseverance. It is one of the most amazing adventures I've ever read, ...twice!
