I listened to the audio, narrated by Peter Coyote. The music included when the story was read was distracting and unnecessary.

I am glad I listened to the book, however, because I would've had a difficult time finishing the book. It's a good and worthy story but for me, it was rather slow.

I am glad that I do not need to rely on my wits and a hatchet to survive. I could do it.

This book was interesting for what it was i mean being super short it didnt have much but the single story and the progress Brian made was inspiring and thinking about his situation was just as fun if not depressing and scary at times
