Summary: a worthwhile read
Comment: If you like inspirational stories, this is a great one. Ada Blackjack is an amazing woman, every inch a hero, even though she is also a flawed, fallible person. That makes her even more likable and easy to identify with. I highly recommend this book to anyone craving a good story, a good adventure, or inspiration. I will think twice about complaining about the mundane daily details of my life now, after reading what Ada and her colleagues endured.

Summary: Great read
Comment: I'm not done reading this book yet but am already willing to give it five stars. This is a great read, and while the author doesn't get too bogged down in details it actually helps what could have been a boring book move along very nicely. I'm definetly going to check out her other books now because this is a real talent to watch.

Summary: Fascinating tale
Comment: This was one of my best books of the year for 2003. I bought it the first week it came out and finished it in 24 hours. It is wonderful. I see so much written in these reviews about Ada Blackjack and not as much about Jennifer Niven, so I just want to take the opportunity to commend Ms. Niven on her writing. Not only is Ada Blackjack a well researched and documented story of nonfiction, but it reads like a novel. I was able to get inside the characters in a way that I'm not always able to when reading nonfiction. It is obvious that Jennifer Niven cares about her characters, and because of that the reader does too. Her writing is compelling and rich and she captures the voice of each character vividly. In the end, I felt they had told me their story and not the other way around. I wish more books were able to do this successfully.
