Excellent! This was a riveting story and a great read.
*Sigh* I have an aversion to Man vs. Nature stories. I have no doubt this is as good as everyone says, and if I read it I'd probably agree, but then I likely would never read it again, talk about it, or think about it.
They just don't do it for me.
Don't be fooled, what makes this one interesting is that it's really more about someone with schizoid personality disorder. The book is the guy's diary that details everything leading up to his fate.
