Summary: Only the Start of a Great Journey for the Reader...
Review: "Walking My Dog, Jane" will take you on an amazing adventure with Ned and his dog Jane, not just into the far reaches of Alaska and into the lives of the unique people who live there, but to a place where you are challenged to begin your own personal adventure. If you check this book out of the library, you'll just decide later that you want to own it, to lend to certain friends, to re-read certain chapters as you suddenly decide to travel to Alaska and to quote some of the finely crafted, simple but meaningful wisdom and information you'll find in this book. And then, you'll want to get a dog if you don't already have one. This is a special book by a gifted, candid, informative and inspiring writer. I honestly and literally couldn't put it down.

Summary: Spiritual Journey While Traveling
Review: Having visted Alaska this summer, traveling from Fairbanks to the pipeline, I found the people to be intriguing, very different. This author really helps the reader understand what goes through the mind of someone who truly loves this wilderness called Alaska. The author's journey is one of self-exploration aside from exploring just the terrain. It's a pleasure to read, and it helps explain the makeup of people who find that wilderness inspiring and nurturing.

Summary: Walking My Dog Jane by Ned Rozell
Review: I don't know when I have enjoyed a book as much as this one. I think it is extrememy well written as well as interesting. I was so excited by sections of this book, I would wake my husband and read aloud to him. He is an outdoors guy and really understood the feeling experienced by Ned. I intend to buy a few of these books and give them as gifts to special friends. I want everyone to meet Ned Rozell.

Summary: Walking my dog, Jane nice
Review: I enjoyed reading Ned's book. It was nice of him to share his personal journey across the Alaskan pipeline. If you are looking for a book to inspire you of Alaska's beauty, I would actually think this is not the book for you. I felt it was more about the people and the evolution of Alaska than the actual hike. It was however written in a way that I did find it hard to put down. I enjoyed it very much. I enjoyed meeting the people. I found Ned's perceptions of the people and areas to be very blunt. He puts it the way he sees it.It was an enjoyable book to read, and I would reccommend it.

Summary: Take a walk with us
Review: I enjoyed this book immensely, in part because Ned Rozell writes about things that I know, places that I've been, and the land that I love. He also strikes a chord in me when he writes about what Alaska means to him and the people that he meets along the way, and how so many of us have families in the States that just don't quite understand what keeps us here. I hope Ned's words help explain. I have lived in Alaska for 13+ years, and still I am reminded of the wonder and magic of the mostly wild land which surrounds us. Ned tells a wonderful story of the land and the history of the places he walks, interspersed with the adventure of crossing the largest state in the nation, and funny dog stories courtesy of his traveling companion, a chocolate Labrador Jane. As they traverse three mountain ranges and over 800 water crossings, Ned learns things about himself and his surroundings that he never expected. If you ever dreamed of traveling to Alaska, or if you have a dog that insists on walking you every day, you'll enjoy this adventure/history/travel story as much as I did.

Summary: Made me fall in love with Alaska all over again!
Review: I found Ned and Jane's journey fascinating and intriguing. If you've even been to Alaska you can appreciate the hardships, joy and bravery these two pioneers faced while walking the entire length of the Trans Alaska Pipeline. When friends ask me about Alaska I always suggest traveling from the south to the arctic north to experience the full range of beauty Alaska has to offer. Through this book I was able to experience it all over again, Rozell does a wonderful job describing the history and the characters they encountered. I am recommending this book to all my friends that want to know why Alaska is so special.

Summary: Well worth the Read then Share then Re-Read and always enjoy
Review: I must admit there have been several ways that this book has landed in my lap, but I'm thankful to all the pointers! I really enjoyed my first reading of it to the point where I loaned a copy to a friend of mine ... who promptly decided she needed her own! This is one of those books that takes you on a very human adventure and you really feel as though you are a part of Ned and Jane's lives. In a long drive this summer, I've brought this friend of a book with me. I recommend it to EVERYONE who is moving along in their lives. Simply AMAZING!
