From the Back Cover
Riveting tales from TV's favorite ice road truckerBetween bear hunting, drag racing, doughnut spinning, cattle rustling, gold prospecting, and too many near-death experiences, it's amazing that Alex Debogorski ever found time (or lived long enough) to spend twenty-five years hauling freight over frozen lakes to the most remote outposts in the arctic. In King of the Road, Alex jams his storytelling into overdrive for a memoir that's equal parts action-packed, outrageous, tender, and hilarious. You'll find out how he once caught fire in the middle of a brawl, how easy it is to get killed driving a coal truck, how the sound of cracking ice is something you can never get accustomed to hearing, and what it's like being the improbable star of a hit TV show. The true tales of this larger-than-life ice road trucker are not to be missed.www.shop.history.comFor Alex news and merchandise, visit www.iceroadtrucker.ca

Written similar to a Patrick McManus book. A lot of small stories with a sense of humor and perspective.Clever, smart, realistic, spiritual, real, and also slightly political/societal.The author could have "timelined" it better, as it is "scattered around" as far as timeline.Yet, if you are a smart enough person, you can figure out the points being made, and that the dates are not exactlyimportant as the content of Mr. Debogorski's character/life.You can tell when the "author" takes over the book, and Mr. Debogorski is being quoted/taking over.I do not review books, but this one is underrated. I am sure that some fans of the show, might not exactly like this book.That is just how it is. It might just help them with perspective they have not earned/experienced.This is a coming of age, trials of life book, and I think most people do not experience any of it much anymore.I am writing from a 27 year old man's perspective, and that is that. I read Russian Literature, French Literature, all the supposed, smart guys, but, this book is so well rounded to me. "my type" of book.Thank you!
Matter of factly written.about a life lived.he tells it all.&it's written plainly no polished edges.he tells us his life as he's lived it & seen it.after I read this I think there should be another.if you want an honest story & a story from a working man's perspective this is it.
Alex Debogorski "talks" to us in this autobiography in his usual TV language, taking us from his childhood days to where he is now. Coming from poor Polish immigrant parents, he's living his life in a good, clean fashion molded from his strict Polish-born father. Taking advantage of every possible way of making decent money growing up, he exemplifies himself as a truly, hard worker brought up in a solid Catholic background, which he never forgets, always remembering his poor days and being thankful to where he has come. This is an honest depiction of growing up, working and living in the coldest parts of Canada. I'll never forget him stating that, although he is a Canadian, he hated communism so much that he wanted to fight in the Vietnam war to help his American friends.
Way too much of the book is tall tales about growing up . . . there's a lot of hot air and gas that doesn't need to be there and contributes nothing . . . pass the gas . . .
I have always admired the truckers, the rigs they drive, the things they see and hear. Alex is a great story teller. This book is full of stories about his life. Told as only the best story teller can. It reminded me of when I was a youngster and the adults would talk about the past. Easy to read and a book to share
I like learning about different cultures and the way the people view life. Alex telling about his family history and how he grew up helped me to understand him more. He has knowledge and a faith in God that a lot of people think they have and dont.This is a good book. After I started reading it I didn't want to put it down. It was like a fast pasted action mystery book, You never knew what was coming next. Of course it helps to understand the trucking industry a little to understand some of the things Alex talks about. But over all I would recommend this book.
This was my first book on my Kindle, and i am so happy that i read it. I first heard Alex on a radio show promoting his book, I though he sounded interesting and fun. My wife and i stated watching the show and realized there was some depth to these guys. So I couldn't wait to read the book. I almost couldn't put it down. I laughed along the way. Alex is an inspirational man, a tough guy with a heart of gold.The book is written as a collection of stories that Alex would entertain the other truckers, over the CB, with on late night runs
Ice Road Trucking could be the metaphor for Alex Debogorski's life. King of the Road deftly brings the reader along with Alex as he navigates the thin ice of his life. King of the Road is about history and personal faith, demonstrating through one man's life how the latter can help anyone overcome the shadows of life and struggle. I began reading as a fan of the show and a curiosity about the man behind the laugh that warms the arctic. I came away with a respect for Alex and all he's accomplished for himself and his family. This isn't just a book for fans of the show but a tale of winning at every day of life. Motivation can come from the strangest of places and Alex demonstrates how hard work and an unwavering faith can take anyone to the boundary of their dreams and beyond.
