Title: Captures young readers, but asks one to accept too much.
Product review: Death Walk is a title which captures the interest of young readers. Joel (Joe) is left alone in the Alaska wilderness and must rely on Mike Donovan to teach him how not only to survive, but to face the life from which Joe is running away. Joe is forced to save his own life while being pursued by the evil Hank and the half-wit Emmett.The action and the situation captive the inexperienced reader and appeals to basic Romantic notions. For anyone beyond this level, the book asks for the reader to accept far too much in the opening premise and in the actions of Joe. It is a young boy's fantasy, but not believable as a story.
