Minneapolis Star Tribune
“A gripping adventure tale… a solemn reminder not to wait until we might be dying to think hard about life.”
Library Journal
“Kwak’s fluid and evocative prose provides a gripping, moment-by-moment account… This powerful memoir about making tough choices and finding new directions will appeal to a variety of travel readers.”
Kirkus Reviews
“With a mix of candor and cynicism… A down-to-earth, relatable examination of career and life choices.”
San Francisco Examiner
“The Passenger — which blends maritime history, astute observations of the human condition and eloquent commentary — is often hysterically funny. Readers may want to purchase several copies: one to keep, highlight and reread, and others to give to friends.”
Foreword Reviews
“The Passenger, with its bare-bones honesty and dry, cynical humor, reveals that when all is said and done, it’s the little things that matter: small acts of courage and kindness, words of love, and gratitude for the gift of another day.”
