Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 109
Boyhood in the 1960s and ‘70s was a time for exploration and mischief. Author Michael Tougias found more than his share of misadventures in the woods and on the water: some life-threatening, but others innocently hilarious. Over time - and after reading a multitude of adventure books - these experiences took shape in his quest to be a mountain man, owning a cabin in the forest and living off the land. Part of that dream would come true, but only after a family tragedy that shook his world and forced changes in his life.

Great book!

I loved this book. I'm a 69 year old woman but could still relate to this book so much. My brother and I grew up in a family where the outdoors and nature were a huge part. We camped and fished and also spent summers riding our bikes and exploring around our home. Building forts in the woods and getting involved in all kinds of antics. We also had parents who were very supportive and lucky for us even spent more time with us in nature. It was a joy to have this book bring back so many memories. I think if more kids these days had the opportunity to grow up in that kind of an environment we'd have a whole lot fewer problems in this world today. It provides a grounding like no other that helps throughout your life. As for the speed of the narration, it was no problem for me. I found that it gave me time to reflect on what was being said and gave me a sense of relaxation and peace.

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office.

Well written and performed.

Although this book book was very dark in places, it was very well written and performed. The use of vocabulary was excellent. It also made one think about the very tragic effects of child abuse and the mental illness that results.

It is 1950. London is still reeling from World War II, and Margery Benson, a schoolteacher and spinster, is trying to get through life, surviving on scraps. One day, she reaches her breaking point, abandoning her job and small existence to set out on an expedition to the other side of the world in search of her childhood obsession: an insect that may or may not exist - the golden beetle of New Caledonia. When she advertises for an assistant to accompany her, the woman she ends up with is the last person she had in mind.
