The Other by David Guterson

2.0

The 'hermit' character in this novel sort of parallels McCandless in Krakauer's Into the Wild which was for me both interesting and a little irritating. I enjoyed seeing the two characters paths side-by-side, but in the end felt the story was just okay and was kind of put off by the emphasis on the 'wealthy-but-crazy parents might have made me become an obsessive gnostic hermit' story arc near the end.
