The book gives a lot of insight into this young man's life, how he made his choices and where those choices led him. I found it to be a compelling read and very hard to put down.”

This is a must read book. ”

I still never watch/read the end...I know how it ends, and I'd rather remeber the good parts.”

I found the author to be a little verbose for my taste, but I suspect that is in his nature based on his profession. The story itself is fascinating, as is the research the author has done to give a complete picture of the journey of Chris/Alex. I appreciated that the author did not "sugarcoat" the situation to make Chris/Alex out to be a hero, but at the same time gave him the benefit of the doubt. I would recommend this to others that like non-fiction and/or camping/hiking/outdoorsy-type accounts.”
