Well I mean it did entertain me and all, but I guess I like my books to have some sort of surprise that you have to read to find out. With this book, everything is laid out on the back cover. They even tell you he dies. Come on, at least save his death for the last chapter or something. So all you have to do is read the back cover to get the jist of the book. It is a good read though if you're into nature or survival type books.
