Kerasote effectively ties together all the essays in this book and gets you thinking about your role and relationship with nature. I guess the reason I enjoyed this books is that the labels and stereotypes that plague so many conversations about people's relationship with nature aren't taken for granted and each story leaves you with something to think about.

Not what I expected, but a charming read nonetheless. This feels more like a series of essays, strung together with a common theme, rather than a book or novel. Kerasote is a compelling, charming, engaging writer: I'm not a hunter, nor do I ever expect to hunt or fish or climb mountains, but his words are engaging, passionate, and thoughtful. An informative, interesting read. You may get more out of this if you are a fisherman, hunter, or outdoorsman, as he talks sport for much of the book. However, he ties it into ethical considerations, stories of growth and trials and tribulations, and lessons learned in the mountains. Not what I expected, but an endearing read.
