![]() All the other parts of what we are, what everything is, don't matter without food. Out here, in nature, in the world, food is everything. maybe just being near you leads to disaster, and the wilderness is the best place for you, where you can't destroy anybody else. and then lightning strikes old government johnny and he goes into lightning coma (this is all on the back of the book, relax) but really? lightning? brian, there's a point where you have to stop and think that maybe you're the bad seed in these scenarios. this one: brian is in a different wilderness with a man who works for the government to re-enact the experiment for the benefit of psychology and its applications etc. i have to call "bullshit." Hatchet i can understand: small plane - pilot has heart attack - brian is stranded in the wilderness with nothing and must learn to live in the wild. ![]() fortunately, these only take about an hour to read, and they do feed my greedy survivalist bug, so there's somewhat of a purpose to it all. i am comfortable with suspending disbelief - i watched lost well past the comfort point because of some innate need to see something through to its end (thanks, dad!) that impulse applies here as well - i will read all the books in this damn series because, like kasia, i can't NOT read them. ![]() ![]() only maybe it's not brian's fault, maybe it's gary paulsen's fault for really trying to determine the limits of a reader's tolerance. ![]()
