karend's review
3.0
I usually prefer third person narration, but when it's a memoir and the people writing it are referring to themselves in the third person, I find it odd and off putting. Why distance themselves from the telling that way? The editing was also very distracting, with commas used in ways that should not be. Such as this sentence: "The sandy excuse for a road was uneven with exaggerated, furrows, and paths, undetectable and unmarked." It was disappointing to see only one photo in here when a lot of the book covered the efforts to assemble a team to document the experience in photo and video. The Amazon reviews for this are stellar. I'm not sure I read the same book. What these guys facilitated was great; the book telling about it is not.
