I had to read this as I love everything to do with Bodie. It was very simply written & for whatever reason the authors chose not to edit from their original journal entries. Really enjoyed it, would’ve loved to have seen more pictures and heard more details.

It was very interesting if not a tad repetitive. Also, I did not like the end of the epilogue.
