Industry Reviews "That this is a story about failure only dawned on me about halfway through. The fact isn't advertised on the jacket, yet it's one of the things that make the book compelling....In telling his story honestly, without cheapening it by portraying it as a triumph of the spirit, Stiller is doing something as brave as kayaking in 20-foot seas, and considerably smarter."
