Amazon.com Audiobook Review
This personal account of many journeys and a life in transition is well served by the author's own reading. Turk's voice conveys the same honesty as his prose, as if inviting the listener for a casual evening of stories around the fire. The reading is not always smooth and polished, but this occasional unsteadiness evokes the essence of the uncertainties and struggles that Turk has confronted and made central to his book. The abridged reading retains the spirit of adventure and self-discovery that propelled Turk to explore Cape Horn, the Northwest Passage, Baffin Island, and Greenland. Listeners may well set off to follow his paddle strokes. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Byron Ricks

an AMAZING JOUNEY! October 19, 1998
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Jon Turk made me feel as though I were on the jouney with him. He takes you through dangerous waters while taking you back through history. I liked the way he intertwined family making him seem all the more real to life. I have never been one to take too many risks in life so I admire this man. He makes you want to go back in time to experience the reality of life. I wish he would write his experience of the actual success of rounding the horn. I also expected him to make a comment toward putting his feet on the table and toasting the queen.
