I read my dad's old paperback copy of this as a kid. Now as an adult I was looking for a relaxing book and I picked it up again. I was pleasantly surprised to find that nothing really bad happens in this book. Sure he has his dangers and difficulties with trying to survive in the wilderness, but he does fine without major traumas. The story becomes a love letter to nature, and a tale of creative solutions to making a home in the woods.
