Instead of being rescued from a plane crash, as in the author's book Hatchet, this story portrays what would have happened to Brian had he been forced to survive a winter in the wilderness with only his survival pack and hatchet.

A bit funnier than the first book, which I appreciated - and manages to not feel too much like merely more of the same. I read it on a whim, but I don't regret the hour or so it took.

I feel like the third book in the saga was not as profound or thrilling as the first. Maybe its just me, but the story was at its best when the character had limited resources and showcased the inner struggles of survival.
