Wow. I took two days to read the first 100 pages, and then finished the last 260 pages in one sitting. Could not put it down. At once challenging and beautiful, mysterious and certain. The author paints such a clear picture of the unfeeling wildness of nature, and the unthinking cruelty of humans. Incredible book, perfectly written.
