Jerri Nielson (1952–2009)

Really 2 and a half stars. The story was interesting, but the reading was stilted, especially knowing that it was the author reading it. That usually adds something to an audio rendition for me, but in this case, it was distracting and tedious. I think she would have been better to hire someone to read it for the audio book.

i seem to have read 3 or 4 books about life in antartica. everybody seems to love it! not my cup of tea. i also remember this story from the newspaper and i remember a lot of press about her making it up.

Really gets across the feeling of living at the Amundsen-Scott station at the South Pole. Easy to read.

I can't really give this book a thorough review. My wife read it first and told me many of the details so I felt like I was reading it a second time.
