I'm a huge fan of Craig Childs (ALL his books are beautifully written and render his experiences almost intact to the reader) and Ted Kerasote (especially "Merle's Door", an exceptionally poignant story). This book is just too immature for me: this man is a contemporary of mine (same age) and this book may have held my interest forty years ago, but today it simply doesn't. It would be wonderful for a young adult. I got through barely 1/3 of the book, was constantly reminded of "Into The Wild" by Jon Krakauer (the story of Chris McCandless' bizarre Alaskan adventure which ended in his tragic death) and kept wondering "WHY is this kid doing this?" Didn't work for me.
