Review title: Too self-aggrandizing and too angry
Product review: Petersen's memoir of his life in the woods is one of those books I got halfway through, hoping it would improve, eventually tossing it away in disappointment.There is a weird persistent undertone of seething bitterness toward "civilization" here, which Petersen can't ever quite shake. Also, it's impossible to ignore the hypocrisy in trash talking technology and society, while at the same time availing onseself of chain saws and pickup trucks, as Petersen often does when it is convenient.I am a nature fanatic and love a good nature book. But unless you are looking for a tiresome self-righteous rant about the ills of society, clothed in a "look at how great my life is here in the woods" lecture, there are many many other great books about self-sufficient living you can enjoy.
