Northwind

De: Gary Paulsen

Narrado por: JD Jackson

This stunning audiobook from the survival story master, set along a rugged coastline centuries ago, does for the ocean what Hatchet does for the woods, as it relates the story of a young person’s battle to stay alive against the odds, where the high seas meet a coastal wilderness.

When a deadly plague reaches the small fish camp where he lives, an orphan named Leif is forced to take to the water in a cedar canoe. He flees northward, following a wild, fjord-riven shore, navigating from one danger to the next, unsure of his destination. But the deeper into his journey he paddles, the closer he comes to his truest self as he connects to “the heartbeat of the ocean...the pulse of the sea”.

With hints of Nordic mythology and an irresistible narrative pull, Northwind is Gary Paulsen at his captivating, adventuresome best.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

The way the guy reading it would change his voice when the character was talking to himself and talking out loud to others.

I didn't like how the guys voice sounded, it was kind scratchy, two deep, or something.

Helped me read a school book for a grade.

Person read very well and I followed along for all of it. I had to take some breaks since I couldn't read the whole thing in 1 session.

Feels unfinished

Excellent writing and performance. It feels like part 1 of a three part book. A little disappointed, but mainly because I want it to be more… it feels like it should be more.

Terrible narrator

It’s basically the same story as Hatchet, just in Scandinavian oceans instead of Canadian forest. It works better in Hatchet. The narrator is truly terrible, and a complete mismatch for the material.

Great book by G. Paulsen and great audio narrator

When I started listening to this book I felt a little lost in understanding this book at first. I have read all Paulsen's books and knew it would get better.

It did! I felt a part of the book, seeing in my mind and feeling the emotions of the storyline.

I felt fear and other times the awe of Leif as he paddled his canoe through cold water as a pod of whales surrounds him.

I'm going to reread this book many times!

classic Paulsen

very pleasent read, fun, easy. like hatchet but the main character (Leif) is more capable, so the stresses that drive the plot arnt 100% survival, which is nice. makes you think about what life could be for Leif

Me

Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me and me and you and she and he and me and her and him

Excellent

Another excellent story from legendary author Gary Paulsen. His imagining of the life of an ancient Norse boy, on his own in a canoe going north on the coast of Scandinavia? Iceland? The British Isles? Is simple and fascinating.

not a bad listen .. but....

I have heard many gary paulsen books and this isnt in the top 5 by any means but not a bad book it just kinda goes nowhere

Interesting but not the best listen.

Survival story with a dull story. Wouldn’t listen again. The story is a semi climatic journey that follows a young man’s journey. Lots of details of his thoughts and monologue. I’ll stick to the hatchet series.
