Halfway and finding this interesting though tedious at times, is anyone else this far? Signed up for #NaNoWriMo this month so need to be writing not reading o dear!!!

I like the story about Chris but some parts are tough especially when the author veers away from Chris's story....

Yes agreed Sue I am reading this in between thrillers!

This book is phenomenal.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Great review! I had trouble with the author's personal story as I was interested in hearing more about Chris. But I get what you are saying....

Great review Jason - i decided to give up on the book halfway as it was too many other people's stories and i got bored, but pleased you enjoyed it. There are definitely some aspects of psychology in the tale about survival and going it alone that add depth, but just too dry and depressing for me.

Much different than what expected, this was simply a cautionary tale. At points, mr Kraków is just shy of calling the guy an idiot. Fair enough though. Guy was as sharp as a marble.
