Hudson Bay Bound: Two Women, One Dog, Two Thousand Miles to the Arctic by Natalie Warren
3.0
I enjoyed this book (for the most part). It was a fast-paced read and kept me entertained. Be aware it gets a little "environmentally preachy" at times. But I am guessing that was a major part for writing it in the first place!
Natalie was an engaging narrator. However, I also found her (and Ann) not the most likable of people. It annoyed me that every time someone questioned them, offered advice, or tried to help, they would get an attitude and wonder "if we were men, would they be doing/asking the same?" 99% of the time I thought to myself "Yeah, Natalie, they probably would have!" I also didn't like a few times when people would give them gifts and they acted like they were a hassle. They both just came across...ungrateful at times, I guess.
That said, I enjoyed reading about the places and people that they met along their journey. Especially the Canadian leg and their visits to the First Nations. So, a bit of a mixed bag with this one. But overall it was an interesting read and gets a thumbs up from yours truly.
