Von GB Jones

GB Jones ist bei dem Iditarod oder einem anderen Hundeschlittenrennen nie als Erster ins Ziel gekommen. 2002 und erneut 2004 beendete er das 1.100 Meilen lange Hundeschlittenrennen am Ende des Feldes. Und 2003 brach er das Rennen ab. Dies ist GBs Bericht über seine Reise nach Nome – ein Beweis dafür, dass auch diejenigen gewinnen können, die nicht als Erste ankommen.

Riley ★★★★★

The near-last-place finishes in 2002 and 2004 make for a far more gripping read than any champion’s memoir. I read the whole 1,100-mile race tension in one sitting, and his dry take on being at the back of the pack had me laughing out loud. It’s refreshing to follow a real musher, not a legend.

John R. ★★★★☆

The author’s honesty about never winning really sets this apart—it’s not a victory lap, it’s a raw look at what it takes to finish a 1,100 mile race near the back of the pack. I only wish there were more photos of the trail itself, but the story kept me turning pages.

Ella ★★★★☆

The writing pulls you right into the grit of the trail—loved the raw detail about him finishing near the back of the pack in 2002 and 2004. Just wish it dug a little deeper into the race's strategy, since the 1,100 mile distance feels almost glossed over. Still a solid read for anyone curious about
