Title: Fun to read, but filled with problems...
Review: I've read My Side of the Mountain dozens of time in my life. It's a fun book to read and you learn a bit about nature, but the way the book is written, some of the characters, and the unbelievable elements of the book detract from the overall reading experience. Sam's friends are pretty gay, and there's no way any parents would let their son run away. I find it hard to believe that he survives the winter all alone in the mountains. Sam is a pretty thin character. In this book, they all are. I think it's gay how Sam names all the animals. This book is worth reading. It's entertaining, and fun to reread. Give it a try, just don't expect too much. I've read the sequel, On the Far Side of the Mountain. Parts of it are good, but it's a strange story. Not very engrossing. Trust me.
