Idk the ending was weird, the build up the secret in the beginning of the book and then in the end it wasn't even relevant?? And Brian was talking about seeing his parents again all the time and stuff and then the idk the ending just didn't do him justice for me
Also Brian inviting the pilot that came to save him to come and eat with him at the end isn't realistic like Brian was there for what 50 days or so and then he's like yeah man you can take me home just one sec gotta make my lunch yk

What’s easier to survive, the Canadian wilderness or your burgeoning mommy issues?

Someone has a pretty graphic heart attack early on. Graphic descriptions of a plane crash and divorce

I read this book from the 27th to 28th of January as part of the Dymocks reading challenge for 'book with nature on the cover'. This book was okay, clearly it was meant for a younger audience and it was even in my school’s grade 8 curriculum! i think i may have been tired reading it because some parts i just didn’t understand and had to read over many times. I am also in a stage of reading many under-average books so i was getting quite sick of it. there was virtually no dialogue so it was easy to lose interest. The character in this book was very well developed though and his thoughts and actions were so developed and well written. I feel like i would have loved this book if i was 8 (i’m 18 now). I was very sick of reading this book in the first few chapters but i have to say, the last 3 chapters i was hooked.

when he tried to get to the emergency bag i was rooting for him and wanted to know so badly what happened. he waited to get the bag but i was like nooo go now

. so yeah it was okay.
