The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit by Michael Finkel

informative mysterious reflective slow-paced

3.0

I bought this after reading the GQ article by the author, about the Maine hermit, a man who abandoned his life to live in the woods on his own and survived by petty thievery. Frankly, the book doesn't add a whole lot more and the subject isn't really very interesting, although his combination of camouflage and survival not far from civilization was ingenious.
