I will need to be placed in an oxygen tent to regain my ability to breathe. The book did not take my breath away because of how well it was written or how well the plot line was constructed but rather by how poorly the two were designed. I wanted to eat the same plant that Chris apparently died from while reading the book so I would not have to finish the blasted thing!
This story of a young person rejecting the American society has been done time and time again and I am getting bored with this topic being handled in this manner. It is as if each generation needs their version of On the Road by Jack Keroac? Self proclaimed "intellectual vagabonds" are predictable to the point of boring.
The writer ignored the purpose of what adjectives can do for a sentence. The writer passed up wonderful opportunities to describe things/events with clean direct descriptions. The author is more out to prove his ability to sleuth around the United States gathering messages/dialogue etc. The book was disjointed and lacked basic structural flow.
The End

Good structure... Well written by a man who has previous experience with these types of situations... Very Enjoyable to read... Needs more of a climax!

If you take a close look at Christopher's life and the way he wanted to live it you would see he liked simplicity. His whole goal was to live with the least amount of resources, no money no car, and the least amount of supplies. Does the make him dumb? I don't think so. It was a challenge to himself to find out who he is and to live off the land. And to the people that think he was an idiot a and not prepared for the wild and that is why he died, I disagree. He made it over a hundred days with limited supplies and if it had not been for the root or seeds he ate that no one knew were harmful when eaten he would have survived

I found the story to be about a young man who discovered himself by stripping away who he wasn't. The thought of doing such a thing enters the minds of people everywhere.Actually doing it can be done in different ways, but doing it is where the discovery of self is often found.The little boy inside of me awoke when I read the book. Unforgettable, gripping and cleansing to the self.
