Reseñas de la Crítica

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

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.

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 good adventure

I liked the story very much. A nice mix of humor and adventure. The young spirit of a young man in the adventure of a lifetime that is at the beginning of his lifetime really.

Good story that keeps a nice pace

I was interested in the story, and listened as I drove up the Clear Water river to Missoula. I was not too stoked on the ending but very relevant and telling.

Good story...

I liked the book. Worth the money. Makes one want to move into the mountains.

Great book!

as a person who's done multiple excursions into the High Country it made me want to go back.

Good story but lots of holes

As a hunter and a Montanan, I felt this was a bit of fiction, as opposed to a real mountain-man story. On the whole I enjoyed the tale. But this was not a dog-lover ( the whole dog element seemed tacked on), the idea of a game warden allowing unlawful hunting and not issuing a license on the spot unrealistic, and the bobcat story was illogical. It didn’t ring true to me.

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.

Is the wilderness and the vastness only in our minds?

What a thrilling, terrifying, exhilarating look at how loneliness becomes aloneness, finally becoming aliveness. Highly recommended for armchair adventurers.
