This collection of stories will hold you spellbound and make it impossible to put down. Joe Hills is a gifted writer and has won several awards for this book. It is my opinion that once you read his books you'll just want more.

This is a very poignant story of a 24 year old man who gave up everything he owned and armed with just
ten pounds of rice, a .22 caliber rifle, a camera, several boxes of rifle rounds, some camping gear suvived 112 days in the Alaskan wilderness. Christopher McCandless had stopped communicating with his family and had also changed his name. His decomposed body was found in an abandoned bus.
It is thought that he starved to death. For readers who like true stories this is an excellent book.
