Description
Pam's spur of the moment plan for making "big" money in Alaska on a fishing boat in the summer of 1986, ended up turning into an adventure that changed her life! She endured many hardships, hunger, and even did some bootlegging to get by. A true story she often told to her friends through the years, the quarantined time of the world wide 2020 pandemic prompted her to put it into a memoir, a quick, short read, and her very first publication.
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Kodiak Krazy" by Pamela Joye Miller.]
4 out of 4 stars from https://forums.onlinebookclub.org/viewtopic.php?t=201943#
Pamela Joye Miller's true-life story as old as three decades draws us into her time chasing what makes the world go round and the supposed key to happiness and success: money. Drowning in student debt while in college, the perfect opportunity to earn $20,000 over the summer landed at her feet in the form of a newspaper ad seemingly inviting her to Kodiak in Alaska to work for a fishery company. Despite not having any experience in Alaska or in that field, Pamela was determined to make that trip and eventually did, along with her boyfriend, Chris. Did she find what she was looking for?
With respect to the previous question, I will only say that you have to pick up the enthralling adventure story that is Pamela Joye Miller's Kodiak Krazy to find out the answer. I thoroughly enjoyed following the author on her journey, and while her writing style was not overly technical, she had a unique way of drawing me in while she told her story in a conversational style. She also takes you on a tour of different amazing places she experienced in Alaska while including beautiful pictures that brought those experiences to life. She also educates us on a few things that readers will find fascinating about Kodiak, including Kodiak bears and the types of fish in Alaska.
Pamela's story drives home several lessons that I found easy to connect with. Firstly, I got to understand that there are some things that money cannot buy, especially revolving around finding peace and tranquillity in life, while I watched her grow through major setbacks and the fear of not achieving her aim. The significance of relationships is also explored through her story, as she met intriguing people that would change the way she thought.
While I enjoyed watching the author's growth through her story, I have to say that I was drawn to her daring, adventurous personality from the onset of the story, as she always pushed herself beyond her comfort zone and was never a quitter. Furthermore, Kodiak Krazy is a professionally edited book. The three errors I found did not have any bearing on my enjoyment of the book.
Overall, this was a great read. At just eighty-six pages in length, it was a light read, but it took me through a few emotions and engaging experiences. I cannot think of anything I dislike about the book. Therefore, I rate it four out of four stars. Readers who enjoy memoirs will enjoy every bit of this journey. If you are into adventure stories, you will love this book as well.
