Kate’s 2¢: “Labyrinth of ice: the triumphant and tragic greely polar expedition” by Buddy Levy

“Labyrinth of ice: the triumphant and tragic greely polar expedition” by Buddy Levy

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   This is a powerful, well-written chronicle about a daring polar adventure.  The explorer’s joy at the numerous scientific successes and firsts in polar advances  are palpable. Equally palpable are the deprivation, pain, and desolation as the explorers wait for rescue.

   Will Damron did a good job of reading this story for NLS. Thank you.
