    my vicarious journey
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2009*

I enjoyed this vicarious trip  to lands I have always been interested in, but will never be able to travel to.  Mr. Millman has taken this journey for me.  He writes of his love for cold rocky lands, for tiny, sparsely populated islands out in the middle of the Atlantic and in out of the way places.  He writes about what he has seen and experienced in these cold exotic places and wamts his readers to experience them also.Lawrence Millman is very knowledgeable about the different floras and faunas in these islands and coutries and also knows much about geology.  He felt he needed to take the journey because of his love of these places; plus he wanted to experience what the Vikings saw and experienced on their journies to what was in their time unknown places.  Then he wrote this great book so others can also take this trip without ever leaving their comfortable homes and lives.Mr. Millman is at ease with the animals and the natives and interacts with both groups..  At times he goes to their homes, eats their food which most of us would fear to do with people of unknown customs and ways of eating plus the type of foods these natives eat.  He walks all over these rocky, barren lands eschewing renting a car for he wants to experience all types of weather, all hard climbs.  Looking from the window of a bus is not for him.However, toward the end of his journey though he really doesn't want to, as he prefers to travel as the Vikings did ,he takes planes and a bus to get to Labrador.This is one great trip.  I enjoyed the book and will read and reread it.  Mr Millman is a man of courage, adventure and love of life.  He writes about these lands just as he sees them and not through rose colored glasses.  Because of his book I was able to walk through cold lands, visit strange places and peoples, and take slow boat trips to tiny strange villages.This book could be called Lost Places because they are not on the tourist trips and few people know or care about them except only the indigenous peoples and those like Lawrence Millman.he takes planes and buses to get to Labrador.

    Halfway through, I found myself ordering copies for friends...
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2016*

The best travel writing reveals new layers of a place, and inspires us to pick up an atlas — not just to find out where these strange settings are, but to start planning a trip of one's own.Millman's travels take him through some fascinating bits of both physical and human geography: from the Shetland islands to the Faroes, through the Iceland's uninhabited centre, deep into Greenland, and finally to Labrador and Newfoundland, as he loosely follows the route of the Vikings and immerses himself in myth, landscape, solitude and questionable meals.I first encountered Millman's work many years ago in Best American Travel Writing 2001, the one edited by Paul Theroux, and his story of Pantelleria stuck in my head ever since, hovering at the back of my mind long after I'd transposed the location to Lampedusa.I found a copy of An Evening Among Headhunters some years after that, and several of those stories left a similar mark. I grew up in a small St Lawrence River town in Ontario, and became temporarily obsessed with Anticosti Island after reading his book — an island I'd never heard of and still have yet to visit.And I found Last Places while researching an upcoming journey to Iceland. Halfway through the book, I found myself ordering copies for friends, and sending away for Millman's other northern books.This is an inspiring journey, wonderfully written, funny, honest, and true. Highly recommended.

    Really Good Travel Story; Weak Editing
  

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2008*

The first few pages of this book drove me to my dictionary repeatedly.  Hardly a single page left me without the intense need to dive into my dictionary - and an excellent dictionary at that.  I found more often than not that the words searched for were not there, or that the meanings that made sense were obscure, or idiosyncratic.  I realized quickly that I could not possibly get through the entire book that way and decided to just relax, understand what I could, and forget about struggling with what I could not.  Mr. Millman is an independent soul and he makes up words, uses slang I am not familiar with and also uses obscure words in common and sometimes uncommon ways.  I think this delights him.  His travels delighted me.  And Mr. Millman appears to be a delightful, jocular person who is comfortable in strange, lonely places.  I am glad to have been taken on this trip with him through his book.  I highly recommend this book particularly to people who are not so compulsive as to need to understand every nuance of what they are reading.  Unfortunately for me, I am that compulsive person.  Like Mr. Millman's journeys, it is often a journey into an unknown place.
