Book Reviews of Barren Lands: An Epic Search for Diamonds in the North American Arctic
Book Review: Real life adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a true story, but reads like a novel. It is about the search for diamonds in northern Canada on a low budget. They follow one lead, that doesn't work, they follow another lead. They spy on the competition, the competition spies on them. They play tricks to mislead the competition, and eventually succeed in their quest. Parts of the book are hilarious.
