WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Releasing this for Accio Books! 2011, the Harry Potter Alliance charity book drive.
BookCrossing books are more interesting as they get more journal entries and I often pick up additional copies of books that I know I have read before so that I can journal the books and then release them.
I read a different copy of this book in January 2007 and here are some of the comments that I had at that time.
I remember reading this book many years ago, I think when it was on the Sequoyah list so around 1990. I remember that I liked it but not much else about it. As I read it this time I did find it to be a quick and enjoyable read but I seemed to get a bit bogged down with "the secret". It relates to his parent's divorce and just seems to me to consume him a little more than it should but having never been in that situation what do I know.
I would like to have seen a bit more survival techniques in the book and maybe a bit more story about his time in the wilderness but all in all I thought it to be a great book. Maybe the ending could have been a bit better it seemed a little bit rushed but then again it may just have happened that way or I might have been in a hurry to finish the book and was hurrying along myself.
This is a book that I would recommend to anyone young or old.
