The Impossible Rescue: The True Story of an Amazing Arctic Adventure Audiobook

" Exhausting just to read about what they endured. Shackleton's feat still stands as the most compelling story, but these men and their animals come close. Great photos, but a bit more detail than I wanted. "

" Brilliant, right up my alley. Rescue mission, cold, reindeer! I loved the story, I loved the pacing, I loved the extra data at the end, I loved the audio version. The only thing is that now I want to see the print version so I can look at the photos! "

" An incredible story bolstered by wonderful writing, excellent photographs, and the words of the people involved. Has its dry spots, but overall a good tale of adventure and history. "

" I enjoyed this true rescue story, but I wonder if audiobook was really the way to go. The narration was fine and the story compelling enough that I stuck with it, but it's my understanding that there are many photographs in the book, so I will have to check it out and take a look at them. "

" Engaging narrations in this informational book. Each chapter draws readers in to the journey of Arctic rescue with vivid pictorial evidences that I almost feel like I was told stories from the rescue team. "

" Interesting rescue story I hadn't heard about before. "

" A great true tale of survival -- especially when we start getting all those nonfic requests for kids in preparation of those wretched gov't mandated tests! "

" A very interesting and deserving story that is told in a not-too-engaging way. It took me about a month to get through, so I'm not sure how kids will do with it unless it's a topic that really interests them. "

" A harrowing, true story of shipwrecks, survival, and daring rescue. Great use of period photographs. "

" Great story, great design/layout, great photographs and supporting documents, great timeline and follow-up at the end - but the narrative STINKS. Your booktalk would be far better than the book itself. "

" Fascinating story, great photos and primary source material, but very dense for all but the most dedicated and interested middle grade reader. "

" I didn't think that I would like this topic when I started but it ended up being heart pounding at times. Great historical journey. Make sure to take the time to read the epilogue. "

" So I knew about Shackleton's amazing story of survival and rescue, but I knew nothing about this very similar rescue story in the Arctic in 1897. Seriously incredible! And the first-hand accounts from these men's journals and photographs just add to the storytelling and amazingness. "
