A fascinating book that I'm glad I read, though I also felt bad for Chris Knight. This person persisted, even when it was clear Chris wanted to be left alone. He's never quite able to penetrate Chris's mind, though he tries. I felt particularly incensed by the court decision forcing him to show up weekly, do drug/alcohol tests, and think they should have accepted a fine and let him go and maybe he could have gone back into the woods rather than live depressed in the society he had tried to escape. This is the story of the forced socialization of a man that wanted to live outside of society, and that is truly sad.
