Very well written, and kept me engaged throughout the whole book. Short story compilations tend to be a hit-or-miss for me, with some stories being vastly more boring than the others. White's book was certainly not that style however, as each story was just as interesting as the one before it. As for the stories themselves, I can't complain. I feel like there was a healthy mix of narrative storytelling, descriptions of the environments, and an overall sense of adventure, especially in the last few stories. Highly recommend.

Some portions certainly haven't aged well, and the humor was rather bland in my opinion. I finished it, but feel as though I really wasn't missing much.

The Return kept me entertained throughout. Though, like the other reviews have stated, the ending is not terrible but definitely anticlimactic. 99% of the story was a fantastic read, (other than the weird parts, if you've read it, you know what I mean) but Little definitely dropped the ball for the ending. It's like he didn't know what to write and just gave up. Other than that, my only other criticism would be that there were one too many characters to keep track of that it got a bit confusing at times. That being said, overall it's worth a read.

Well written, but nothing I haven't heard before. Some of it was written in such a way that it helped me understand a few key points better than I have in the past, but overall this feels perhaps more suited to someone who is not already a Christian or is considering the faith.

If run-on sentences had a spokesman, Jewitt would be him. That being said, for a story written over 200 years ago, I can't exactly fault him for that. It was very well written otherwise, and Stewart did a fantastic job illustrating and annotating his Narrative. I'm glad I gave this one a shot, as I typically don't bother much with oversized books such as this. It was a great story, and I have no regrets spending my time reading it. I would highly recommend to anyone even remotely interested in the Northwest Coast, Natives, or even adventure as a whole.
