A bit corny in the end but worth the trip...

I've read this book three times; once before moving to Alaska, once after living here for a year, and again after living here for 15 years. The book was different each time and it wasn't until the third time through that I wasn't absolutely sure that I loved it. Yes, some of the stories (especially toward the end of the book) are corny and have an eye-rolling quality but I didn't feel that it ruined the entire book. The history is wonderful and very interesting and definitely makes up for the small flaws here and there. I do recommend this one...
