Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Alaska

“Few will escape the allure of the land and people [Michener] describes. . . . Alaska takes the reader on a journey through one of the bleakest, richest, most foreboding, and highly inviting territories in our Republic, if not the world. . . . The characters that Michener creates are bigger than life.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Always the master of exhaustive historical research, Michener tracks the settling of Alaska [in] vividly detailed scenes and well-developed characters.”—Boston Herald

“Michener is still, sentence for sentence, writing’s fastest attention grabber.”—The New York Times

Epic Book

Epic Book with a slow start. After the third or forth chapter I was hooked. If my mind wandered (or I got interrupted) I rewinded and listened again. Going to Alaska in July, and so glad I read (or rather listened) to this book first. James McKeever was the perfect narrator for this book.

great story

Would you consider the audio edition of Alaska to be better than the print version?

yes. the print version would take too long to read

Awesome book

I loved this audiobook. I thought the narrator was a good fit too. This book tells several stories and communicates on several different levels.

Educational and fun to listen to

I listened to this while I was working, and it took a little bit to get into but I loved the story. There is a lot to it, and I have had a few interruptions so I kinda lost track of who was who, so after listening to all of it, i'm going to listen to it again! I like how he linked all the stories together throughout the years.

History Alive

Michener does it again makes history come alive with great characters both historical and fictional. Can’t get enough of this guy. Second time through for me about 40 years apart.
