Pulitzer Prize, Biography, 2016. Barbarian Days is William Finnegan's memoir of an obsession, a complex enchantment. Surfing only looks like a sport. To initiates it is something else entirely: a beautiful addiction, a demanding course of study, a morally dangerous pastime, a way of life.

Great Book, Very Engaging All The Way Through
Reviewed: 05-03-16
This was a really well written book. It's about surfing, yet also about life. The performance was pretty solid, but there were some stops and starts where Finnegan's voice sounds very different from the last line. This is nitpicking, overall it was a wonderful story that I didn't want to end.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 88
Rising from the depths of the North Pacific lies a fabled island, now submerged just 15 feet below the surface of the ocean. Rumors and warnings about Cortes Bank abound, but among big wave surfers, this legendary rock is famous for one simple (and massive) reason: this is the home of the biggest rideable wave on the face of the earth.

Cortes Bank is an incredible place with some great history, not to mention possibly the biggest waves in the world. Dixon does an admirable job narrating, though the high stakes, thrill seeking drama could have benefitted from a professional. All in all it's a great listen if you are at all interested in big waves and adventure.
