Very much enjoyed listening to this! Made some ridiculous faces on the bus & tram during particularly spectacular or disgusting sequences. The narration was very good. The book was the perfect length, too. There's a website to view illustrations and stuff (http://expeditionenljudbok.se/) but I haven't viewed it (mostly because I spent nearly the whole book getting to and from Ikea) and I don't feel like I got less out of the story because of it.

This book captures Bea Uusmas 15 year long obsession with the Andrée Polar Expedition from 1897. It's an informative, captivating, lovely designed non-fiction book, which is a rather easy read. I liked it because you can feel the author's need to find out why the three adventurers died in every word and with every detail you become a bit more addicted to this criminal story yourself. I liked how the book is designed with all the photographs, drawings, charts and different narrative perspectives. The only big critique for me is the end, I found the conclusion of a seek this long too short and would have hoped for a more extensive deduction.

Det är fascinerande att läsa om Beas "besatthet" av Andrée-expeditionen. Jag har lärt mig massor eftersom jag knappt visste något om expeditionen. 

Det är en bra skriven bok som varierar rena bilder, korta bildtexter till långa förklaringar av olika saker.

Jag rekommenderar verkligen boken om du vill läsa något lite annorlunda, men ändå lättillgängligt.
