 the only kayak August 5, 2008
this book is interesting and informative. I have been to Glacier Bay National park where this man loves so much and I also like it very much and find it fascinating. All of Alaska is fascinating, beautiful and one of the two most beautiful of all 50 of the states though others may disagree. The other state is Hawaii. I enjoy travel books and like reading about how people tell the stories of their trips. I also enjoy seeing photos of different places of the world.
Gifted Writer Shares His Glacier Bay July 1, 2008
Kim Heacox freely gives readers what he knows of and loves about Glacier Bay, one of the most magical places on Earth, and here too is what Heacox knows of and loves about life as well. Whether you already have your own romance with the place, or just a romance with the idea of it, in this book Heacox clarifies the roots of that romance, celebrates his own -- and on every page, he honors the integrity of the wild.
 THE ONLY KAYAK: A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF ALASKA. KIM HEACOX May 19, 2008
Enjoyable. Well written. Honest. Auto-biographical, but flows like a novel. I connected with the people, and the land, and the sentiment of the author.
Enjoyable, thought-provoking read February 20, 2008
While I wasn't as blown away by the book as some of the previous reviews, I have to admit that I enjoyed it very much. It provoked a lot of thoughts in me about nature, conservation, industrialism, etc. I may have started the book looking for a lot of "action", and you will be disappointed if that is your goal. But after settling into it, I found myself relating very much to what Kim was saying.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about the true Alaska.
One of the best books I've read November 10, 2007
Outstanding book. Great combination of story telling, adventure and ecological education. A very meaningful theme of wilderness appreciation runs through the book. I highly recommend it.
