Breaking into the Backcountry by Steve Edwards

freethefreckle's review against another edition

4.0

I give the author 4 stars moreso than the book. Truthfully, I'd give the author 5 stars. The book is unlike anything I've read - its more like meditations on solitude rather than any kind of journey. But written by someone who never quite gets comfortable with solitude. Truthfully, a better editor would have made significant improvements - but I won't at all discredit how great of a writer I believe Edwards to be after reading this book. Don't go in looking for any interesting hooks, storylines, or resolutions; you'll get none. But I appreciate that authentic, less marketable appeal. I was bummed to find out there weren't more books by Edwards to read - I would've bought them all on the spot while reading this. Even if this is all we get, it's completely worthwhile.
