Book Review: The 29th Day

[illabelle]

Just finished a book I received as a Christmas gift: The Twenty-Ninth Day by Alex Messenger.

In 2005 at age 17, the author and five other guys (including a guide) began a long-distance canoe trip through the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

The story is well put together, moving along expeditiously from day to day, with suspense building up to Day 29. The storytelling is both matter-of-fact and emotional, letting you skim through the whitewater and feel the exhilaration and thrill.
