Summary: Love it or Loathe it
Comment: I don't think anyone who reads this book will be ambivalent about it. Mostly I loved it. Living a busy life in a busy city, the book seemed to give my mind room to breathe.

It's a keeper that I'll dip into again and again.

Summary: A Really Poor Case
Comment: I was so excited when I heard about this book and ordered it immediatly. I wish, however, that I had read the reviews first. It is not only bad writing, but hokey at best. With no clear organization, no connecting ideas or prose, its highest and best use is firewood. Sorry in the Sangres.

Summary: New Age, pseudo-feminist nonsense!
Comment: I recommended this book for my book goup, based on reviews I'd read. Boy, was I embarrassed! Just reading the jacket copy made me cringe. First of all, it's not really a "book." Its short length is filled out with double-spaced type--because there's no real content! It's full of coy ramblings that reveal intimate details we don't want to know and leave out the soul-searching and nature observations the reader might expect from "a year living alone in the wilderness." (And here's another quibble: the author was hardly alone. She seemed to attract stray males like a...well, I won't go there.) The nature commentary consisted mostly of lists of birds. Did she get the lists out of a field guide, or did she actually see the birds? Hard to tell. The bear story was potentially interesting, but Nealson spoiled it by making it all about HER. One positive thing: we had many good laughs at our book group discussion! NOT recommended.
