Reviews
“Terrifying . . . eloquent . . . a heart-rending drama of human yearning.”
The New York Times
“His exploration of McCandless's odyssey in search of a 'raw transcendent experience' provides some insight for families in similar crises and will prove popular with outdoor, recreation, and nature listeners. Recommended for most collections.”
Library Journal
“Philip Franklin presents the material in documentary fashion, with no characterizations and little emotional involvement. It works. The listener can imagine Franklin's voice under a television special; Krakauer's text fills in the pictures with ease. Franklin wisely chooses to become involved in the text, rather than trying to manipulate it.”
Audiofile
“A narrative of arresting force. Anyone who ever fancied wandering off to face nature on its own harsh terms should give a look. It's gripping stuff.”
The Washington Post
