Rick Steeves storytelling is excellent

Revisado: 02-13-25

I enjoyed the entire book. i have always enjoyed Rick Steves books, shows and talks. I loved hearing about the adventures, as well as, his insights and I appreciate his thought provoking views. I have traveled a lot, but not until a few years after the period in this book so wasn't able to do the Hippie Trail.
I know this will be a book listen to over and over.
As always...thank you Rick!

Honest, and touching

I loved that they narrated it themselves. The honesty, and their stories had me laughing and crying in turn. Thank you Willie and Bobbie for sharing your stories and insights.

Her story is relatable, told in an honest and humorous manner.

Revisado: 06-22-24

Exceptional human, her story is well written and narrated. A heroine of the most amazing level. I love the movie Girls Can't Surf and I love this book even more. Pauline's story is heartbreaking, inspiring and honest. I will read this and watch the movie many times. As a female who loved surfing, albeit on a much smaller scale when I was younger, it fills my soul with happiness, ignighting memories and sadness for the fight female surfers faced during the years covered in this book. And makes me ever thankful for the bravery and persistentance that has moved women's surfing to its current level. Bravo and thank you.

The narration is excellent, the story is gripping, gut wrenching, joyful and mysterious. A book I will read over and over. An absolute treasure.

Could not put it down

Engaging, accurate and intense. I love the native stories. I live in the area where the book takes place so it was easy for me visualize the places and history.

Locales great, story not so much

Revisado: 06-06-23

I only finished it to hear about the parks. The whining, self focused neediness of the author was off-putting.

Not about surfing

Revisado: 07-31-21

I keep looking for surfing book that's as terrific as Barbarian Days. This is not it. There is very little about surfing, surf spots or the culture of surfing. This is just a litany of me, me, me. I expected more and was sad that it didn't deliver. I fell asleep repeatedly and even relistening found it droll and boring. Narrator wasn't great either.

Love the storyline, not so much the narrator

Revisado: 06-14-21

I adore this series both in print and electronic mediums. I do not care for new narrator. The accents were off a few times. There were a number of over the top, high pitched voices which sounded forced.
