Book Reviews of More Readings From One Man's Wilderness: The Journals of Richard L. Proenneke, 1974-1980

Book Review: Simple but powerful
Summary: 4 Stars

I agree with the other reviewers that this is a great book (for me). But it's not for everybody. If you are looking for eloquence, vivid description, or even decent writing or grammar, you should look elsewhere. This is one man's journal. RLP was not aiming to write well but to simply put his thoughts down. Nevertheless (or maybe because of this), his writing has a strength, simplicity, and power that is even more meaningful than beautiful language. The book is long and many entries are similar to each other, which can either drive you crazy or have the effect of putting you right inside the cabin along with him during those long Alaskan days and nights. I was hooked instantly and will be sad to read the final pages.
