Critic reviews

"An absorbing personal account...Entertaining nonfiction." ( School Library Journal)

A very humble, but beautiful “On Walden Pond”

This was an absolute joy to listen to on Audible. Like taking a vacation in my mind. This college student, with almost NO self-awareness, blunders into an unlikely adventure in the wilderness. He determines to make the most of it, and becomes a man in the process. Outstanding writing!

A Book about putting yourself out there....

This book was an entertaining read. I wish I had the guts to “put myself out there.” I enjoyed the book very much.

Will to step out of comfort zone

I highly recommend this book! Definitely recommend if you are an outdoors person and have ever wanted to advance your skills and get the motivation to!
The end is sad, I won’t ruin it, but has a possibility of jerking at your heart strings.

Amazing!

Grew up on this book. Have read it 6 times. Just makes you feel great!

"Full of ineffable wonder"

I love this book, it teaches the importance of viewing nature in all its beauty.
