Empire Antarctica: Ice, Silence & Emperor Penguins by Gavin Francis

adventurous informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

Biggest complaint is how many times I had to reread sentences because there was a dearth of commas, which would have helped the rhythm. Otherwise, for a book with penguins on the front, it’s not as much about them as I wanted. That said, he’s a good writer, with a way to describe a scene that paints it beautifully. Liked metaphors maybe a little too much but I can forgive that. I did love reading about the history of Antarctica and humans and this man’s experience for one year in a remote place with no way out.
