strangertrails's review against another edition

5.0

I want to read this book again right away (but I probably won’t). I absolutely loved it! It was always so exciting and intriguing and I never wanted to put it down...! I just seriously love everything about this book. I think it’s one of the best survival/adventure stories I’ve ever read (there haven't been many). I think it was realistic and I’m really glad we were able to see some character development and observe how her state of mind changed. It was all just so GOOD. AH!

There were some small flaws I believe, but as a somewhat new and awestricken reader of pure survival stories, they didn’t really matter to me. I was all for the survival and watching Jess figure out how to live with nature.

It literally made me cry. Like, twice.

Survivalist story. I loved every minute and this isn’t usually the kind of content I read!

“My mind refuses to retrace my footsteps, to go further into the past than the night, the fire.”

I Am Still Alive
by Kate Alice Marshall
narrated by Amy McFadden

QUICK SUMMARY
Jess, who suffered a tragic accident causing the loss of her mother and severe injuries for herself is taken off the grid to the Canadian Wilderness where her estranged father is living. Things turn bad quickly and Jess is left alone.

FINAL THOUGHTS
This book was so unrealistic and .... not good.

If there hadn't only been ten minutes left in the book when she killed her dog I would have stopped right then and there.

Very unfortunate since I have enjoyed some other books by this author.
