Get Debbie Miller's Midnight Wilderness Book Instead
I look at Madsen's book as a complement to Debbie Miller's book. Like Miller, Madsen writes a travelogue about his trips in the Refuge and beyond. He also describes his Caribou Commons project and his relationship with the Gwich'in people.
If this was the only book about the Refuge on the market, I would encourage you to read it. But in light of Debbie Miller's book, this book is unnecessarily redundant. Madsen's writing is overdone and filled with groan-inducing metaphors; he recounts his stories with a hint of ego and self-importance entirely absent in Miller's book; Madsen recaps dialogue that he thinks is funnier that it actually is; and the book was in desperate need of more aggressive editing. Reading this book was tiresome and unenlightening, and I struggled to finish it. Not recommended.
