Review of 'North' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Scott Jurek is totally insane, and a total beast! Any sane person would have seen so many signs that they should stop; that continuing on just wasn't meant to be. But, not Mr. Jurek. His capacity to push himself beyond physical and mental breaking points, and come out alive on the other side is nothing short of amazing!
